What about line wrap?

[Seetharaman Iyer]

Hi,

I need a help regarding line wrap. I use 65 characters / some cases max 80 characters as a limit. I have some scenarios like

1)
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
...
throw new ServiceStartFailureException(MsgConstants.DBPATH_NOT_EXIST);
}


2)
} catch (ServiceNotRunningException e) {
...
return ErrorResponse.prepareErrorResponse(MsgConstants.SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE);
}

Please tell me how to break these lines.

Your help is much appreciated!
Seetha...

Hi Seetharaman,

I just used the formatter of Eclipse which I tweaked a bit (80 characters per line for example) and used just this formatter in every source file.

Kind regards,
Roel

Any way you like. I used Allman style instead of the Sun Style and still passed. I did describe my style choices in the first chapter of choices.txt .

And just like Roel I let Eclipse do all the work.

Howdy, Martin!

Champ, one curiosity, when did you pass the exam? Did you have access to your detailed score? I suspect that, if you don't follow Sun's code conventions, then you can lose points in the "General Considerations" criteria. I'm not sure, though.

August 18, based on this thread so no detailed score anymore

Hi Roberto,

As I said no access to detailed scores for passes. I guess it is another measurement against fraught. On the other hand it makes the whole SCJD a guesswork. If you are concerned: Code the way you like it best (after all you have to read your own code most of the time) and at the end run the code through a carefully set up Eclipse cleanup/format at the end.

Agreed. One good tip is to prepare Eclipse's formatter to follow Sun's code conventions (as described here).

Gosh, that has not been updated in 11 years.

Hm, generics you say That's new to me, I'll have to do some investigation about these generics
