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 "*"?
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.
Just to be clear: - I'd prefer never to have trailing spaces - I'm ok to accept that due to some IDE limitation we accept trailing spaces in empty javadoc lines - I don't want it to be enforced since I'm using a proper IDE and I don't want to have to refactor my code before committing it Thanks -Vincent
