    @Chris I do not 100% agree with that. There are some conventions that should really be followed like for example the naming conventions. Commented Mar 11, 2011 at 21:11
  • Maybe you're right but the answers to this question would be nothing better (rather worth) - readable and searchable than any search issued to any search engine on that topic. I think it would be pretty hard to filter out the few really useful answers. Commented Mar 11, 2011 at 21:18
  • Plus, even if one might consider this not subjective, the topic has been covered several times before (each with similar answers). Commented Mar 11, 2011 at 21:24
  • Some good compilation from different sources merged and actively maintained which is also uptodate geosoft.no/development/javastyle.html Commented Mar 13, 2011 at 13:59

There are a lot of factors which go into defining the term "a good coding standard" but the official document should offer you some insight.
