Code Format

The T2-Project uses the following conventions to format (Java) code:

  • max line length between 100 to 120 chars (except for long String literals)

  • spaces instead of tabs

  • 4 spaces per indentation level

  • LF instead of CRLF

  • lines that were broken up in the middle (i.e. new parameter or array value) are indented by +1:

@SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackageClasses = {
    Some.class,
    SomeOther.class })

  • * imports as soon as there are 2 imports of the same package

  • blank lines must also be empty (no             lines)

  • one space between parameters (doSomething(String a, String b))

  • one space between the curly parentheses of arrays ({ "Hi", "Second String" })

  • no inline annotations except for parameters (no @Autowired Someservice service;)

  • no aligned assignments

  • aligned javadoc parameters:

/**
 * Do something.
 *
 * @param x       a small parameter
 * @param longerY another longer parameter
