Geronimo and code standards

Seems like the J2EE project from Apache doesn't care much about code convention. I just browsed the Checkstyle report on the Geronimo core and there are 2600 violations on the code convention. Thought these open source developers cared about these things since the code is available for everybody to look at.

The PMD report is much better, but the default setup with Maven uses too few rules. Maybe I should run a more strict PMD analysis on this code. Anyway - it's a shame that one have the power of the maven reports and then projects don't use this advantage.
