Coding style

[Björn Lindberg]

Hi,

Should we try to agree on a coding style for the project?
Stuff like:

* tab-length of four spaces, use spaces instead of tabs
* max. 80 characters per line
* how and what to javadoc, etc.

I can put something up on the wiki tomorrow if there is any interest.

Those sound good.
* TODO in areas that require attention

Hi
A good proposal I think, except for the curly braces. Placing them on new lines deviates to much, in my taste, from the original Java Code Conventions from Sun. I believe the current Session Tester code is closer to the Sun conventions.

However, this is an old and somewhat ridicules discussion and it will never end. My suggestion is to remove this item from the convention and let it be a per file convention, so the reading is not disturbed by varying style within one file.

Awesome!  Only this morning I was dreaming about the curly braces war that was going to come when we started talking about coding conventions, and now it's here!

 

I think this makes us a real project now :)

Hi again

I'm glad I could contribute. Let's not waste energy on it. I just couldn't let Björn get away with it.

We have similar wars in testing. Can't we just vote on the curly braces? =)

 

I am pro björn-style, btw.

Amazing! I tried to state my opinion about those braces without starting up the old war but I guess that is just not possible. Sorry for this. But as Jared said, now it is a real project.

Don't forget that by discussing something that many of you think is unnecissary we will get to know each other in the process.

 

I've had an ongoing debate/war with Rikard Edgren on whether you should start with a capital letter or not in the subject/synopsis of a bug.

 

Welcome the war!

Don't force me to make the judgment of Solomon here... ;)

Great discussion though, keep it up. As Jared said, finally we are a
real project. :-)
