DSDP/MTJ/Developer Resources/Coding Standards

In order to unify the code conventions used in MTJ, there are two template files that must be used in the Clean Up and Format actions within Eclipse

Clean Up Template

Formatter Template

• If you are a MTJ committer make sure you clean up and format every java file before checking in to SVN.

• If you are contributing to MTJ, a committer will make sure your code is correctly formated and cleaned up before cheking it in. However to make committers life easier, you should clean up and format you code before submitting a patch.
