  • if (
  • for (
  • while (
  • do {
  • try {
  • public class SomeClass {
  • Spaces after closing parenthesis in a control statement
  • No newline after closing parenthesis and space in a control statement:
  • if () {
  • for () {
  • while () {
  • catch () {
  • switch () {

  • Space after ; in for statement, not before

  • Spaces around operators
  • a + b
  • a == b
  • for (Type blah : blahs) {
  • "String " + "concatenation"
  • Spaces around { and } on one-line declarations
  • public boolean aMethod() { return something; }
  • Fewer extraneous parentheses, except when they increase readability
  • if (a == b || b == c)
  • Indent on case in switch case statements
  • switch () {
             case 1:
  • Mandatory comment for when a case falls through, and when not stacking
  • switch () {
             case 1:
                 // Fallthrough
    
             case 2:
  • switch () {

                 break;
    
             case 2:
  • Prefer early returns over method indentation. Example:
  • if (!precondition) {
             // Possibly cleanup
             return;
         }
    
         // Continue with task
  • Java standard class and method naming, with exception to McMMO in a class name
  • thisIsAMethod()
  • ThisIsAClass
  • Exception:
McMMOCustomClass
  • No space before opening parenthesis for methods, or constructors
  • public void thisIsAMethod() {
  • public ThisIsAClass() {
  • Spaces after comma in method calls and constructors, not before
  • something.methodCall(variable, otherVariable);
  • Accessing of variables with this. only when necessary to resolve scope
  • Class variables always defined at the top, before the constructor
  • No empty line between class declaration and beginning of variable declaration
  • Always a empty line at the end of a method or constructor definition
  • Constructors come before methods, and are typically ordered from the ones with the least arguments to the most
  • Methods should be ordered in this manner:
  • override public
  • public
  • static public
  • abstract public
  • override protected
  • protected
  • static protected
  • abstract protected
  • private
  • static private
  • No one-line if statements, they should all have brackets
