> The Sun Style Guide - Also off "Interesting Stuff/Style Guides" > http://harvard.altisimo.com/cscie119/useful-stuff.html Direct link to Sun's recommendations: http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/ My rule of thumb is to use the One True Style for a given language. When you write English, you do it like the New York Times. When you write LISP, you do it like Guy Steele. When you write C, you do it like Kernighan and Richie. When you write C++, you do it like Bjarne. When you write Java, you do it like Sun. (Former LISP man Guy Steele writes Java like Sun, so it can't be too bad.) -- Richard Kasperowski (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Tel: 617-576-1552, Fax: 617-576-2441 http://www.altisimo.com/
