Java Coding Standards

Java coding standards specify conventions for naming classes, interfaces, methods, variables, and constants. Classes should be nouns with initial caps for each word. Interfaces should be adjectives with initial caps. Method names should be verbs or verb-noun combinations with initial lowercase and caps for each subsequent word. Variables should be nouns with initial lowercase and caps for each subsequent word. Constants should be all caps with underscores between words. Getter methods should be public with no arguments and return the property type. Setter methods should be public, return void, and take the property as a parameter.
