It is not necessary to force all the coding convention rules in one go, we can keep adding rules as and when appropriate.
We should really consider using checkstyle, and I think if we have a standard checkstyle guidelines, we can import it into eclipse so eclipse uses it for formatting the code. I am facing some issues with eclipse reformatting my code, breaking into more lines than I want, so if something like checkstyle is in place, I can be sure of what eclipse is doing.

Let's see if we can get our test case names refactored first. In the meantime, if you would like to experiment with Checkstyle to see if it could enforce the test case naming convention, then go for it! (and report back to the list on how it works). I suspect that if we ran the full style check, we would get a very long list to go through ;-) Cheers, --Van From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nazir LAJDEL Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2007 11:04 PM To: Developer Subject: Re: [Mifos-developer] Developer questions relatedtomifos application(build issues) Hi Van, >But no matter how the test runs are organized, I would still be in favor of using a naming convention for the sake of consistency. >I'll put forward the suggestion of following the convention <classname>Test for test class names.

I suggest setting up a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard.We can automate the process of checking Java code to spare humans of this boring (but important) task. For example; ?Checkstyle? can check many aspects of your source code. It?s highly configurable and can be made to support almost any coding standard.
