hi Baris:
I haven't used Code Style before, but I read a bit about it. If I were in your position, I would cosider the recommendation, however I must understand why such thing is recomened before I attempt to change my code. In your example, Code Style probably suggests that non private method be marked with either final or abstract for a reason. Good programming practice suggest that you narrow the scope of your methods. If your method is designed, and documentd for inheretance, it should be marked as abstract. If your method is not designed for inheritance, it should be marked as final, so that no other programmer can override it.
Again, it is my own opinion.
