Coding standards :
The applicable coding standards for ADS 1.5 are described in Coding Standards
There are some more rules, as we are using Java 5 now :
- Use generics as much as you can. Generic are a good way to avoid casting, and it enforce the usage of the correct type.
- If you can avoid Iterators, do so. There is this cool construction with a for( Type t:<collection instance> ) : use it !
- Use assert. It's usefull, especially instead of a bunch of if (<test is wrong>) then throw Exception when controlling incoming parameters
- Use the new Enum type !
