[André Asantos]

Hi, is a convension when I am using List and I call by nickname in the plural?

Look at:

List<Name> names = new ArrayList<Name>();

bye,
AS

I do it all the time. But it's not a "nickname", it's a variable name.

It's more than just convention, it's common sense--if you have more than one, it's plural. (Of course, it might have zero or one, too, but the potential is there :)
