I have never seen that coding convention. But for GNU Classpath we use a coding convention that mimics the standard (GNU) C and C++ coding convention as closely as possible. This has as advantage that code written in different programming languages looks similar across the projects. I would recommend that other projects adopt that since we have written so much code that conforms to this standard already. See http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/docs/hacking.html#SEC8 I do note that coding conventions are something that lots of people have an opinion on. And in general they quickly turn into bike shed (*) discussions. So I would just state one convention and stick with it.
