Apache OpenNLP Code Conventions

Use 2 spaces for indentation. No tabs!

Place open braces on the same line as the declaration, for example:

public class Foo extends Bar {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
      for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
        System.out.println(Integer.parseInt(args[i]));
      }
    }
    catch(NumberFormatException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

Wrap lines longer than 80 to 100 characters. For wrapped lines use an indent of 4 characters.

Within a class or interface, definitions should be ordered as follows:

Inner classes

Class (static) variables

Instance variables

Constructors

Methods

Do not use package imports, for example:

For other cases, we try to follow Java code conventions as much as possible.
