Likewise, I've seen something like this in code... can't remember if it's
anywhere in Cocoon:
if ( "something".equals(stringToCompare) {
...
}
IMO it seems more straightforward and easier to read if it's:
if ( stringToCompare.equals("something") ) {
...
}
Is this just a matter of style as well? The first way seems goofy if you
ask me.
