We do have a stated coding style policy: http://struts.apache.org/releases.html#Coding
Which has a reference to the Jakarta Project Guidelines http://jakarta.apache.org/site/source.html Which points to Sun's "Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language" http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html The sections that seem relevant are the ones on parenthesis and return statements: http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConventions.doc6.html#438 http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConventions.doc9.html#331 which are against this style. Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leon Rosenberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 4:53 PM Hi, looking over the source of jakarta projects I noticed the usage of a coding style, which i never saw before: /** * Return the descriptive short name of this Manager implementation. */ public String getName() { return (nameBug); } could you explain me what the parenthisis (nameBug) are for? Is there a code style guide somewhere you are following? Just out of interest I'd like to see that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
