Hi guys,
RichFaces has been recently reformatted to follow conventions brought by JBoss Community.
These code-style conventions are followed by other projects like Seam or JBossAS7, giving opportunity to unify look of all Java classes and other resources (XML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, ..) as well.
That all mainly for one simple reason - making the consumption of code by developers simpler, improving readability across all projects.
As the reaction, we have deprecated RichFaces' own checkstyle and IDE settings and took the ones defined by JBoss Community.
Thus I encourage you to update your settings, following the instructions for setting up code-style settings for various IDEs and Checkstyle (so far for Eclipse).
This is great stuff Lukas!
As we finalize the git workflow, and begin processing pull requests we will need to ask developers to use these style guidelines so that we can keep the code consistent and easy to read.
