Java Naming Standards...

Rules


  • Identifiers (variables, classes, methods, packages and interface) must be composed of letters, numbers, underscore ( _ ) or dollar sign ( $ ).
  • Identifiers must begin with letter, underscore or dollar sign.
  • Keywords cannot be used as identifiers.
  • Spaces are not allowed between the words.
  • Variables can have any length.

  Ex: apple, _apple, $apple, Apple123, _123apple

  • There are examples for illegal identifiers.
  Ex: 123mango, Mango#, Fresh mango, _1@mango

Classes and interfaces naming standards


  • The first letter should be capitalized and camel case is allowed. 
  • Class names should be nouns.
      • Ex: Apple, MyMobile 
  • Interfaces names should be adjectives.
      • Ex: Readable 

Methods, variables and constants naming standards 

  • Method names and variable names should be started with lowercase and other words should be in Upper case (camel case). 
  • Method names typically be verb-noun pairs.
      • Examples for methods: doCalculation( ), getName( )
      • Examples for variables: name, userName 

  • All the letters should be in uppercase in constants. Other words should be separated by underscore. 
                Ex: MAX_LENGTH , TOP_LEVEL 

JavaBeans Standards 


JavaBeans property naming rules
  • If the property is not a Boolean, then getter method's prefix must be ‘get’.
                Ex: getSize( ), getName( ) 
  • If the property is Boolean, the getter method’s prefix is either ‘get’ or ‘is’.
                Ex: getStopped( ), isStopped( ) 
  • The setter method’s prefix must be ‘set’.
                Ex: setSize( ) 

  • Setter method signatures must be marked public with a void return type and an argument that represents the property type. 
  • Getter method signatures must be marked public that take no arguments and have a return type that matches the argument type of the setter method for that property. 

JavaBean Listener naming rules
  • Listener method names used to “register” a listener with an event source must be the prefix ‘add’ followed by the listener type.
      • Ex: addActionListener ( ) 
  • Listener method names used to remove (“register”) a listener must use the prefix remove, followed by the listener type. 
  • Listener method names must be end with the word “Listener”.
