I more like the given style with less spaces: 3854 for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++) It better visualizes the 3 parts of the for statement. Subjectively that irritates my eyes :-) non-subjectively it is inconsistently applied.

What you mean by inconsistently? In the JDK sources?

It's also, well, just plain wrong.

You are correct from java code conventions.

But I'm wondering, why this "wrong" style is such popular, even in JDK, at least in older sources - where IDE-driven auto-formatting was not available ;-) My only explanation: People think, it's better readable, it better visualizes the 3 parts of the for statement.

BTW: IIRC, in NetBeans both styles are configurable for auto-formatting.

Another similar case: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6939278
