Actually, that's more of a C/C++ coding convention. (Speaking of which, please
don't use "I" to start interfaces.)
I prefer to have enums as follows
Public class Vm {
enum State {
IsRunning,
Stopped,
}
}
I generally like to write Vm.State.IsRunning in the code. It's readable and
clear.
As opposed to Vm.State.IS_RUNNING which is a little less readable.
But the thing I've seen people do is just using IS_RUNNING or State.IsRunning
which often becomes confusing. I'm more against that then all caps and
underscore.
My $.02. I will caution that any change to existing enums, we have to think
about how it maps to the database. If the VO object stores the enum, you'll
have to either upgrade the database or add methods to the enum so that when
storing it, it becomes the same.
