Description

We currently don't enforce spaces before left curly brace ({), as a result of which the following code block would not raise any error:

void someMethod(){
		if (someCondition){
			try {
				...
			} catch (Exception e){
				...
			}
		}
}

It is not the aim of this JIRA to forbid {} as a shorthand for empty bodies, such as:

new TypeHint<Tuple2<String, Integer>>(){}
