yes. See http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe/2001-September/007425.html . If
you could add the contents of that mail to FAQ.debugging, that would be great.

thanks, I've checked both in.

The usual convention seems to be to use what's there, and avoid indentation
wars ;)

I can put it in the developers directory. I'm using JDEE myself, so that's
useful for me when I'm hacking on new files.

But I wouldn't want to enforce a specific indentation style, since we are using
third party sources from different projects and they may have different
opinions on indentation. Re-indenting their files could make merging harder
than necessary.
