Well, it is hard enough to get people to put comments in their code
and code neatly, let alone stick to a style guide.

I'm guilty on the last one as well with Java.  I've been doing Java
for years.


I like

private void myFunction( String myArgument}
{
    //do stuff
    .
    .
    .
}// end function myFunction


Sun's _strong_ suggestions for the Java community is

private void myFunction( String myArgument}{
    //do stuff
    .
    .
    .
}


Which I find hard to read ( you rely on indentation and those brackets
become visual noise......to satisfy no real need ).

Thankfully its easy enough with my copy of slickedit to convert back
and forth between the two styles.
