It was brought up today that some folks prefer:

if (true) {
   // some code
} else if (some_expressions) {
   // some code
} else {
   // some code
}

to the current format of
if (true) {
   // some code
}
else if (some_expressions) {
   // some code
}
else {
   // some code
}

Same applies to try/catch/finally blocks:

try {
  // some code
} catch (Exception e) {
  // log or rethrow
} finally {
  // final cleanup
}

as opposed to the current format:

try {
  // some code
}
catch (Exception e) {
  // log or rethrow
}
finally {
  // final cleanup
}

I've grown partial to the latter (new lined version, but was used to the
former in a past job).  So I'm putting this up for a vote, majority wins.
Only one vote per person.

1) same line
2) new line
