The main objective is to build a code base which can live, be maintained and understood by any contributor, and not only its author. These rules can only have an added value if there are shared and applied.

ARCH: Architecture rules, defining how the product components, features and plugins, must be build and configured.

COMM: Rules dedicated to the comment content and format.

TIPS: Tips and tricks, best practices, etc.

FORM: Rules defining the format of the code and its presentation.

NAME: Rules related to the naming of the elements.

Thus, each rule has an identifier, prefixed by its category. To ease the rules understanding, a classification has been made to organise them.

To make those rules fullfilled by most of the contributors, they should be either automatable or trackable (i.e.: with a Formatter or with Checkstyle). Sometimes there are different ways to have the same result, then a rule can be added in this base to define the 'Papyrus' code style. Others are not yet followed, but should be a good habit to avoid mistake when coding. Most of those rules are already followed by most of the contributors, and could seem obvious. This page is a starting point to discuss about those rules and practices. In order to make the Papyrus code more homogenous, it seems to be a good point to put some best practices down in writing.

Then again, if the IDE writes ALL of my code then I'll get bored pretty quickly. it would be even more awesome if it could check those existing parens to see if they have the args I am looking for or not and do something smart OR check the method after my insertion point to see if it should be an argument to my completion and just go ahead and DO that and put a closing paren after it and BEFORE the semi-colon if there was one there already. I DO think that it would be nice if there were a 'smart' parentheses insertion feature that would NOT insert the parens if completing right before an existing paren and since I am WISHING anyway. I find this the most comfortable choice so far. WrappingMethod(parameterGuess) originalMethod() Notice I had to add the open paren to prevent the overwrite, but no extra parens.

With the cursor after the 'gM' above, accepting the completion proposal gives: (Let wrappingMethod() be the method that will be completed.) The auto-completion feature in eclipse works somewhat differently if you choose 'Completion overwrites' instead of 'Completion inserts' on the 'Content Assist' preferences. I find this unrelated-seeming setting makes a big difference so I'll mention it.
