   Although this a good step to standardisation I wondered if there is a way to achieve the same in a maven plugin so that those not using eclipse can be compliant? 
   
   A quick check found this [formatter-maven-plugin](https://github.com/revelc/formatter-maven-plugin) which is built on top of the eclipse formatter. Could you have a look and see if it works when added to the pom for the code in this PR. I.e. you should be able to run `mvn formatter:format` and it should not change any of your files that you formatted in eclipse.
   
   If it works then the `formatter:validate` goal could be added to the goals run by the CI server (in a future PR) to make sure new code has not forgotten to run the formatting.
