Assignment code indentation...help!

[Andrea Gazzarini]

I'm not sure about the coding conventions of my assigment..for example
what is the right indentation between the row where is "throws" and the rows where is the "switch"?

  
public void aMethod(String info, int mode)
     throws PropertyVetoException { 
     switch (mode) {
      case 1 : {
... 
      }
      case 2 : {
        ...   
      }

  
public void aMethod(String info, int mode)
        throws PropertyVetoException {
    switch (mode) {
      case 1 : {
      ...
      }
              case 2 : {
              }

  
public void aMethod(String info, int mode)
            throws PropertyVetoException {
switch (mode) {
          case 1 : {
  ...
}
        case 2 : {
        }

Thanks...

Sorry, but It's the first time I use the UBB Code...the problem about the indentation is only between the "throws" and the "switch" row...the "case" rows are not formatted
Thanks

Hi
Have a look at:-
http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html
note its recomended to have indentations of 8 spaces and not using tabs.

Adam,
I read it as "unit of indentation is 4 spaces and tag eight spaces. The exact nature of indent ( tab vs. spaces) is unspecified'.
I decided to disable tabs and use spaces. so, I am using 4 spaces.

Break after a comma.
Break before an operator.
Prefer higher-level breaks to lower-level breaks.
Align the new line with the beginning of the expression at the same level on the previous line.
If the above rules lead to confusing code or to code that's squished up against the right margin, just indent 8 spaces instead.
Therefore, your code becomes this:

public void aMethod(String info, int mode) 
        throws PropertyVetoException {
    switch (mode) {
        case 1 : {
            ...
        }
        case 2 : {
            ...
        }
    }
}
