Java does not enforce a particular code quality language-wise and therefor programmers should follow certain guidelines when writing code. As all guidelines, they might be violated for a good reason.

• Java code conventions
• Google Java code style

• All public class fields must be

  final static

  :

  public final static int MY_CONST = 3;

• Class members have to be named uppercase with underscore between words:

  MAX_INTEGER

• All fields must be

  private

  and only accessible through getters and setters.

• All fields must be

  final

  unless functionality requires mutability.
