Until we can get something more specific posted, we're borrowing GWT's Style Guide.

Reality

The code as imported from Source Forge is not formatted according to the style we specify is this here document. Code will be reformatted as is it change (or if someone goes nuts and reformats all of the old code).

Exceptions and Compulsive Restatements

Acronyms and Abbreviations

Acronyms and abbreviations should all be in camel case.

Javadoc

• Do not add @param and @return tags to methods unless they are necessary to clarify the expected values.
• Always add @throws tags describing when exceptions will be thrown from your method, both checked and unchecked.

Line Length

Line length is limited to 80 characters. The following exceptions apply:

• //$NON-NLS-1$ comments may cross the 80 character boundry.

ASCII Artifacts

Do not put any "magic markers" in the files. E.g.

// ------------------------------------------------- Private Variables

Do not use "ASCII Art" indentation. It doesn't survive refactoring!

Do

public SomeLongClassNameThatIsTooLong getThatLongThing(AnotherLongClassName another,
    SomeOtherLongClassName other, String name) {
  // ...
}

Don't

public SomeLongClassNameThatIsTooLong getThatLongThing(AnotherLongClassName another,
                                                       SomeOtherLongClassName other,
                                                       String name) {
  // ...
}
