I would like to propose establishing a documented rule for trailing whitespace which follows the current defacto standard laid out by the IDE's.
Trailing whitespace in java files is unacceptable except in an empty line in a javadoc comment in which case a single space is required.

WDYT?
Can you point out where in the javadoc spec it says there should be a trailing space after the "*"?
I did not see any place and in fact java.lang.Boolean does not use this style. http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/6-b14...
If it's not in the javadoc then I don't agree that we should add trailing white spaces just because Eclipse doesn't support it or something like that.
My only position is that I want something written down. If we can't agree in favor of whitespace and we can't agree against whitespace then I suppose the default must be "do what you want".
IDEA doesn't seem to add those spaces.
Thanks -Vincent
