Pasted from http://codereview.appspot.com/4754047/:

• Opening brace goes on the same line as the declaration start. This is Java style, as opposed to C or C++ where it's customary to have the brace on the next line.

• space after if, for, while etc, so 'if (cond) { ...' rather than if(cond).

• don't use short-form ifs, even if the consequent/alternative are one line long. Doing so may introduce subtle bugs in nested conditional code.

• 'else' clause can be compacted with the surrounding braces.

• No lines beyond 100 columns. That's about the place where it stops being comfortable for reading on a modern hires monitor.

• No ascii-art in parameter formatting. When you need to break lines in parameter lists, just use normal indent. Doing otherwise will cause formatting to break if any of the params or methods get refactored and renamed.
