This project will have the Conventions for Java and J2EE from the Java BluePrints team. The conventions are available on the Java BluePrints web site. Currently there are conventions for  naming and  project structuring. The development of the conventions will be moved to java.net, starting now.

By using a set of conventions, development teams can save a lot of time and energy discussing issues such as how to structure a project workspace, where to put code, where to put documentation etc. Instead of long team meetings, start with a set of conventions and get down to work sooner.

Current versions of the conventions can be read at
  • Project Conventions for Enterprise Applications, Early Acess 1. The conventions in this document are intended to assist developers with organizing the directories and files associated with an application project in a logical fashion.
  • Naming Conventions for Enterprise Applications, Early Access 2. This covers naming for J2EE components such as Servlets, JSP pages, EJBs, and web services.
The Java BluePrints Build System project provides an Ant-based build system that implements some of these project and naming conventions, and also provides a mechanism to create projects that are native NetBeans projects, but are usable from command-line. The Java BluePrints Build System can be downloaded here.
 
Note, this is just the initial content for this site. We will add more soon.

So far we have a few issues which we will use to determine the next draft. Let us know if you have other suggestions.
