== Code Formatting == * It is recommended to use default "Eclipse" code formatting for Java for new code. * It is recommended to preserve formatting of old code when making patches == Eclipse Java Errors/Warnings == It is strongly recommended for cdt project to override default compiler error/warning and use project specific errors/warnings. These errors should be enabled: * Method with a constructor name - Error * Assignment has no effect - Error * Possible accidental boolean assignment - Error * finally does not complete normally - Error * Using a char array in string concatenation - Error * Null pointer access - Error * Potential null pointer access - Warning * Unused Import - Error All commiters should enabled API tooling by setting target baseline platform. Do not commit code with API errors. Patches with errors listed above, including API errors would not be accepted. == Copyright == Use eclipse copyright header: http://www.eclipse.org/legal/copyrightandlicensenotice.php <pre> /******************************************************************************* * Copyright (c) {DATE} {INITIAL COPYRIGHT OWNER} {OTHER COPYRIGHT OWNERS}. * All rights reserved.
