Joe,

It's fairly straightforward to get CVS to send an email whenever someone 
committs anything at all.  I can send the relevant files for how I set 
this up at work if you'd like.

There's a package called checkstyle that can be used to set up a project 
wide coding style, which then flags any deviations from the norm.  At 
work, I've set up our project in ant to publish a report for the entire 
code base after every commit.  We could also set up CVS to check that 
the file passes muster before allowing it to be committed.

Just a thought, but if you use the following Javadoc, then CVS will 
track that info for you.  You'll be able to always see the last person 
who committed anything the class along with the date that they did so.

/**
  * ...
  * @author: $Author$
  * @version: $Revision$
  */

Amen!
