Increase maximum line length in checkstyle. #39

100 characters is quite small, and it makes code uglier than it has to be.

I concur, 130-150 seems more appropriate for our widescreen monitors.

@Shukaro feel free to discuss this with the rest of the developers and come a consensus. I am OK with a longer line length, so long as the majority of folks are in agreement.

I am in agreement with @nathanjent. I think that length is more conducive to our commenting.

Honestly, I don't see the point in increasing it.

I don't really care either way, but if you ever need to print your code for a review 100-150 characters per line won't look all that pretty. But if you strive for 80 char lines then you can almost guarantee that all your code will print nicely, and will be easy to read since you formatted it to fit.
