Lack of easily identifiable best practices for jclouds makes it difficult for both new and experienced developers to contribute.
It’s impossible to tell what jclouds best practices are at any given moment. It depends entirely on who the reviewers are and if they happen to be familiar with the best practice for the code under review. All jclouds reviewers operate on a PR by PR way to communicate what they perceive to be the best practices, whether or not that aligns with what others perceive to be the best practices. We attempted to address this with the Best Practices [1] wiki page but we didn’t do a good job of promoting its use or contributing to it. I would like to change that. I just added a simple section about Mock Tests [2] along with an example. If you would like to improve that section, go for it. Who wants to add a section about domain classes and auto-value?
