Code Templates

Jetty specifies the following code templates for use by the project developers.

Code Conventions

The following is an example of the Java formatting and naming styles to apply to Jetty:

import some.exact.ClassName;      // GOOD
import some.wildcard.package.*;   // BAD!
 
package org.always.have.a.package;
 
/* --------------------------------------------------------- */
/** Always have some javadoc
 */
class MyClassName
{
    // indent by 4 spaces.
    // use spaced to indent
    // The code must format OK with default tabsize of 8.
 
    private static final int ALL_CAPS_FOR_PUBLIC_CONSTANTS=1;
 
    // Field prefixed with __ for static of _ for normal fields.
    // This convention is no longer mandatory, but any given
    // class should either consistently use this style or not.
    private static String __staticField;
    private Object _privateField;
 
 
    // use getters and setters rather than public fields.
    public void setPrivateField(Object privateField)
    {
        _privateField=privateField;
    }
 
    public Object getPrivateField()
    {
        return _privateField;
    }
 
    public void doSomething()
        throws SomeException
    {
        Object local_variable = _privateField;
        if (local_variable==null)
        {
             // do Something
        }
    }
}
