RE: Coding Stds

Alternatively, we could set up automated code formatting using Jalopy.  The 
Log4j and Log4j-sandbox projects use it and it works great!  The rules are 
specified in an XML config file and you just run your code through 
it.  This way, there is much less concern about how the code is actually 
submitted to us.  Maybe we can look into setting this up in the Barracuda 
build?  Additionally, we could also use CheckStyle to verify that all the 
coding standards have been followed (besides formatting).  This is also 
defined in an XML config file.  This would make things much more uniform 
and make all of this less of an issue.
