Of course, my direct approach isn't very charming. I can only convince those who in favor of rules and reason—not those prioritize individual opinion or embrace the freedom of chaos (what some might call the **broken window effect**). Some thrive in disorder, finding creativity in the absence of boundaries. For others, order is essential; they need structure to keep the marathon going. P.S. This is the essence of law. There is no law without enforcement. These best practices serve the common good—they belong to no one, being defined by the community in sync with Java Coding Conventions (JCC). I didn't create, nor do I particularly care about these rules, even though they seem legitimate and reasonable to me. I simply suggest in following them because they represent the only valid foundation. Java coding conventions come from Java itself, not from me. The same applies to PMD best practices—we can assure significant effort went into balancing these rules. Thus ends our endless debates about which rules are good or bad (though we've all participated eagerly). That's the power of norms and standards. They're like syntax, but operating on a higher semantic plane. You all grasp this intuitively—while I remain, as ever, the least enlightened among us. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
