Most C++ codebases I've seen have the brace on a fresh line, most Java codebases at the end of the line (at a guess born of the Sun guidelines and default Eclipse formatting perhaps). I started with the former, but prefer the latter now.
To me its more about conserving an extra bit of vertical space... I like my methods/functions quite compact. In the past I liked the balanced nature of the braces though.
Makes absolutely no appreciable difference though of course, as long as you don't get into a formatting war with your team.
Which ones would that be? The Eclipse one has a million knobs and twiddles, and is bearable in 95% of the time after fiddling with them a lot, which I'm okay with.
I must admit I haven't used Eclipse's auto-formatter because I've never met an IDE that haven't made me want to kill myself, and Eclipse is at the top of the list of IDE's I have never been able to stand more for than 5 minutes.
