The spacing is messed up. I open my source code in textpad and see a complete diff layout to netbeans. Which editor will the person reviewing my code use? Of course I am interested in knowing if there is a way to make my layout showable in all editors if thats possible?

Are you adhering to the maximum of 80 chars a line convention?

This might be your problem.

Also, there is an official convention to use 4 spaces instead of tabs for indenting. That could also cause trouble in different editors.

Hello:

You may be able to use "checkspelling" a tool that will help you with all the java conventions which is good for the problem about editors you are having.

Don't you mean "checkstyle"? Eclipse has a plugin for Checkstyle. Unfortunately, spell check doesn't work in Eclipse
