code formatting issue
is there a common line width to be kept? 78 characters in one line is
hell of a readability problem and a little bit archaic.
WDYT?

I checked my settings: 120.

150 seems too long (I'm past 40 and use a larger font so unless I buy a
32 inch monitor 150 means a lot of scrolling). I normally use 100, but
120 would be OK by me.

FYI, the code formatter in eclipse can be exported as xml. It could be
included in the repository allowing developers to switch to this
formatter at will. This would make it easier (for eclipse users) to
enforce some sort of project formatting standard.
Now discussing formatting standards itself is a religious thing which i
ofcourse happily ignore in this post.

me too :) eclipse creates a total mess when formatting the code with 78
characters per line. Can we establish some project standard?

Use your judgement.

I use 120 or so for code and 80 or so for javadoc.
