Hi all, As we're getting closer to 12 and the GitHub repo is gaining traction, I think we should start formalizing in writing the exact code conventions we want to use to decrease future mess. The wiki has some rules [1], but there are areas which are still fuzzy. The check tools could also use an update.
Just a few specific points: * Line length limit vary greatly even withing the same class. * Number of empty lines before and after closing bracer `}` of classes (and inner classes) varies. * Annotations sometimes appear on the same line and sometimes above what they are annotating. * I recommend we enforce using @Override wherever applicable, it can only help. * Usage of 'var' (should probably link to the style guide by Stuart Marks). After we decide on what we care about and in what way, we should supply a formatter for each IDE (either in the repo or another source) so that contributors can easily plug it in and get everything right. - Nir [1] https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Code+Style+Rules
