 ====== Java ======
+===== Code conventions =====
+  * Classes have a name starting with an uppercase character, should contain a noun
+  * Methods start with a lowercase character and should contain a verb
+  * Packages are all lowercase
+  * Members start lowercase, or all uppercase if static
+==== Classes ====
+  * Members are private in all cases, unless static
+  * Members initialized in constructor are final.
+  * Static members should be final, can be public in that case
+Inner classes can divert from those rules, but should never be exported to outside the containing compilation unit. Declare all inner classes as package-private, i.e. no visibility modifier. If declared private, Java needs to generate synthetic accessor methods.
 ===== Debugging annotations in Eclipse =====
-To find out what's wrong with a text annotation (it's created, but nothing can be seen in the text viewer), set a break point on org.eclipse.jface.text.source.AnnotationPainter, method getDecoration(Annotation annotation, Decoration decoration). It can be found around line 826 in 3.6.2.
