What is missing is a guide or download that makes it possible for JAVA
programmers to start hacking. As soon as gcc, automake and autoconf come
into play you loose 75% of your potential hackers-market for any Java
project.
A snapshot with generated makefiles, and an included libtool would be a
very good start.
On the hacking guide point 6.1, for the following item;
Don't use redundant modifiers or other redundant constructs. Here is some
sample code that shows various redundant items in comments:
/*import java.lang.Integer;*/
/*abstract*/ interface I {
/*public abstract*/ void m();
/*public static final*/ int i = 1;
/*public static*/ class Inner {}
}
final class C /*extends Object*/ {
/*final*/ void m() {}
}
The one who wrote this obviously has no idea that
public void bla()
is very different from
void bla()
and
class x{ int i=1; }
is very different from:
class x{ public static final int i=1; }
an inner class is also not static by default.
An additional item for the coding style should be a note that if you
implement equals() then you should also implement hashCode();
What I also miss is the ordering inside a class; what I see most of the
java community do is to put static fields first, then normal fields, then
constructors, then private/protected constructors, then public get/set
style methods, then normal public methods, then private methods, then all
static methods, then non-static inner classes, then static inner classes.
This is what the industry uses; I don't really care what the standard is in
GNU classpath, but I surely would like to see a coding convention.
