Re: [triquetrum-dev] code formatting standards

["Torkild U. Resheim" <torkildr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I’m not a committer on this project, but I I’m taking the chance to utter my opinion anyway :) I think what Christopher says is a good idea; use the default Eclipse coding style with longer lines. Also it’s a good idea to store these settings per project (can be enabled through "project properties > Java Code Style > Formatter». This way the settings can be versioned (.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs) and shared between developers. Also the «Context menu > Source > Format» action and equivalent will use these settings, so if you’re unsure that you got it right, just format the code you’ve edited. Or even set a save action to automatically format edited code.

Best regards,

Torkild

I think we should probably follow the Eclipse coding style, which is 4 spaces for indentation.

As part of the release, we should clean the code, see https://github.com/eclipse/triquetrum/issues/79

I had assumed that part of this would be to use Eclipse to clean the code using the Eclipse style formatter.

Longer lines are OK with me. 

As a matter of personal preference, I prefer CamelCase names over names that have abbreviations (CmlCs).  However, we need not enforce that.

I also prefer that code be well commented.  A lot of open source code has no comments and is very difficult to reuse.

Hi Jonah,

I have attached the exported prefs from the Java/Code Style/Formatter preferences.

The main things :

- indentations are 2 spaces, no TABs

- longer lines (160 chars)

cheers

Hi Erwin,

Are there code formatting standards for Triq?

Thanks
