Java Naming Conventions

Oracle has a reference that fully describes Java naming conventions.
Here I will rapidly summarize many/most of them as part of my learning process.

Reference

For the full meal deal, see Oracle JavaSE Code Conventions

Let it also be known that most of these examples are pulled DIRECTLY from [Oracle JavaSE Documentation] (see above).

Convensions

ID Type => Example

Packages => All lowercase => 'com.sun.eng', 'com.apple.quicktime.v2', 'edu.cmu.us.bovik.cheese'
Classes => Mixed-case Nouns => 'class Raster', 'class ImageSprite'
Interfaces => Capitalized => 'interface RasterDelegate', 'interface Storing'
Methods => Mixed-case Verbs => 'run()', 'runFast()', 'getBackground()'
Variables => camelCase mnemonic words => 'int integer;', 'char charCharacter', 'float itemWidth'
Constants => Underscore-separated uppercased words => 'static final int MIN_WIDTH = 4;', static final int MAX_WIDTH = 999;', static final int GET_THE_CPU = 1;'
