This was widely circulated in the OpenJDK community a few years ago, but you
would need to contact the author to find out the legal status of the document.

All of them.
We recommended use of the then-current Java Style Guidelines, but we never
enforced it nor checked that projects were following it. There's fairly good
"rough" agreement on the style, but lots of inconsistency in the details.
We spent a long time arguing about this just for GlassFish. Some people were
determined to do what they wanted no matter what we said so within GlassFish
there's some parts that use a grossly different style. I'm not happy about
that, but there's only so much time in a day you can spend fighting about this.
