Re: [equinox-dev] Equinox coding conventions


I updated the following equinox projects to have the latest Equinox code convention settings.  I also updated each project to format java files when saving.  You may notice additional changes when saving java files and creating patches.  In this case the code was probably not correctly formatted.

org.eclipse.equinox.app
org.eclipse.equinox.common
org.eclipse.equinox.device
org.eclipse.equinox.event
org.eclipse.equinox.http
org.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty
org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry
org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet
org.eclipse.equinox.http.servletbridge
org.eclipse.equinox.jsp.jasper
org.eclipse.equinox.jsp.jasper.registry
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher
org.eclipse.equinox.log
org.eclipse.equinox.metatype
org.eclipse.equinox.preferences
org.eclipse.equinox.registry
org.eclipse.equinox.servletbridge
org.eclipse.equinox.supplement
org.eclipse.equinox.useradmin
org.eclipse.osgi

Because of bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=200207 the org.eclipse.osgi project cannot set the "Malformed Javadoc" compiler settings to "Error".  All other projects do have this set to "Error".

[equinox-dev] Equinox coding conventions






As more and more people are contributing to Equinox (Thanks!) we thought it would make sense to point out the Equinox coding conventions:


http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/documents/coding.php

In some ways these sort of guidelines can show up as restricting one's freedom of artistic code formatting or variable naming _expression_. In practice however, having a common set of coding practices is one of the ingredients of our success. We have a large and growing body of committers in Equinox, and a much larger community looking in and trying to understand what we write.  Having common and consistent conventions makes our code easier to read and work with for everyone.


In particular, check out the section around formatter and compiler settings. These we should setup in each project so that everyone is seeing the same errors and formatting the same way. We're also going to experiment with enabling automatic formatting and code cleanup on save, so we can just forget about these issues and let the tools do the work.
