Coding standards

The applicable coding standards for ADS 1.5 are described in Coding Standards

There are some more rules, as we are using Java 5 now :

• Use generics as much as you can. Generic are a good way to avoid casting, and it enforce the usage of the correct type.
• If you can avoid Iterators, do so. There is this cool construction with a for( Type t: ) : use it !
• Use assert. It's usefull, especially instead of a bunch of if () then throw Exception* when controlling incoming parameters
• Use the new Enum type !
