Coding Conventions
This document describes the basic Coding Conventions used by the RAP development team.
Note: These conventions affect only newly created code. RAP reuses a lot of code from RCP (currently by copying that code) - These code-snippets are normally not re-formatted.
Follow the Sun conventions for the Java language: http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html (Note that this includes braces around if, while and for constructs even if their 'then'-clause or body has only one line; see section 7.4 of the conventions.) Apart from that, the following rules are mandatory:
- Method parameters (with the exception of abstract methods) are never assigned to and have to be declared as final
- There must be at most one return statement in each method
- Do not use continue, break or return statements in loops
- Use for loops if there is a known number of iterations in the loop, else use while loops (i.e.: don't use for loops with a list iterator)
- Do not use variable names with only one letter (except loop variables in loops)
- 80 characters per line is maximum
- TAB characters are forbidden
- Text files must use Unix line delimiters
- Insert a space after opening braces and before closing braces(i.e.:
if( someMethod( arg1, arg2 ) == array [ i ] ) { ...) - If lines are broken at an operator, the operator must be on the next line, and the next line is indented once. (No naked operators at the end of a line)
- All public API must be marked with a
@sincetag at the class/interface level. Only methods, fields etc. that are added in a later release cycle must carry their own@sincetag. The version number denotes the *release* version in which the element was/will be published the first time.
Codeformatter Template
The following XML snippet contains the codeformatter configurations for Eclipse used by the RAP team. To use it copy the content, save it to a file named codeformatter.xml and import the template with the Code Template preference page.
Note: This template isn't able to cover all style conventions we use, but it helps to get started.
