Re: Why does the OpenSymphy build automatically run the code formatter

Hm, I'd say the opposite is true? Running the code formatter makes sure 
that no matter how much one changes locally, you can just reformat it 
so that it's in the same style that is in CVS. This makes diffs show up 
much nicer. Eg, if you add spaces or carriage returns, they'll be 
modified. If you make local changes, then run the formatter against 
your source tree too. That way you'll get much cleaner merges.

All code checked in has been run through the formatter.
