Code Style

[Alain Huber]

Hello everybody

I like it better to write code in that fashion:
--------------------------------------------------------------

    
synchronized(db)
{
try
{
db.readFully(b);
magic = Conversions.getString(b);
}
catch (IOException io)
{
log.severe("cannot access Database");
}
}
 

----------------------------------------------------------
Will I be penalized for doing this the non java way? The code
guidelines from java ranch also see things as I do. Thanks for
the reply

as far as i have seen the sun standards, your code should look as

    
 
synchronized(db){
try{
db.readFully(b);
magic=Conversions.getString(b);
}catch (IOException io){
log.severe("cannot access Database");
}
}

and i am not sure if you will be penalized for that but its always good to follow the coding standards specialy if they are laid down by SUN

Try to use SUN formatting standard. You may loose some points if you don't follow sun style.

Some IDEs like eclipse provide a very useful automatic formatter, that you can set to follow SUN standard.
Another useful utility is checkstyle, can be downloaded as an pluggin for eclipse.

Do you know any other tools like checkstyle that can be used for netBeans even better independent of any IDE ?

thanks

There are plenty: jlint, jcsc, lint4j, pmd and findbugs. All these can be run from within Ant or as standalone applications.

I particularly like FindBugs for its relevant and actionable warnings, and PMD for its extensibility.
