I think that the checks before calling the constructors make code clearer. I've been using flexible constructor bodies for this for a couple of versions now and I prefer it. As for the indent, it aligns with the parameter above it. > modules/javafx.base/src/test/java/test/javafx/util/converter/LocalDateStringConverterTest.java > line 72: > >> 70: NO_PARAM, >> 71: WITH_FORMATTER_PARSER, >> 72: WITH_FORMAT_STYLES, > > I know enums allow it, but trailing comma is still ugly I think that in JavaFX we use a `;`. The comma stayed from the old code, but I fixed it. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1880#discussion_r2312083596 PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1880#discussion_r2312084263
