I'm working on a project which is in the initial stages, and I'm setting up some coding standards and a style guide. I've been looking for some good sources for coding standards, style guidelines, and best practices in general for Java development.

I've come across the official coding conventions from Oracle, but they appear to be from 1999, so I was wondering if there is anything more current.

FWIW, here is a link to the Oracle doc I found: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/codeconv-138413.html

Answer 1

The version you have found is current. The document has not been updated since 1999.

There are other more recent style guides around, but nothing (public) from Oracle / Sun, and not "official".
