[kepler-dev] Kepler Code Formatting

[Aaron Schultz]

The format went really well tonight.

1025 java files from the core, loader, and util modules were examined.
985 of those files were changed.
1 ambiguous reference was found when organizing imports (much less then 
I expected), and it was in a javadoc comment and got removed.

Thanks!
Aaron
