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.

/** * My Cool Method. * <----- trailing whitespace goes here. * @param something... */

WDYT?

Can you point out where in the javadoc spec it says there should be a trailing space after the "*"? 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. IDEA doesn't seem to add those spaces.
