Somewhere between the two. In order to give the Java code in the E-on-Java 
source tree a more consistent style, I have Intellij IDEA automatically apply 
as many of my formatting preferences as it can, and manually normalize for the 
remainder (like the 79-column limit).

Regarding the specific issue above, I have IDEA set to trim all trailing 
whitespace, since it is invisible anyway. However, since it affects neither 
the meaning nor the look of the program, I also don't care much.
