• Four spaces, NOT a tab character, is are used for regular indentation. For code broken into multiple lines, eight spaces are used indent lines after the first:

  Code Block
  language java
  if (obj instanceof DefaultDevice) { return Objects.equals(this.id, other.id) && Objects.equals(this.type, other.type) && Objects.equals(this.manufacturer, other.manufacturer);

  
  

• If the line has to break at the dot separator ".", the dot symbol should be at the beginning of the next line:
   

  Code Block
  language java
  public void describeTo(Description description) { description.appendText("status '") .appendText(status.getDescription()) .appendText("'"); }

  
  

• Trailing whitespaces should be removed in both code and comments.

• There should be a space between keywords (if, for, catch, etc.), parenthesis, and braces, as well as when casting:
  

  Code Block
  language java
  if (timer != null) { try { DeviceId did = (DeviceId) elementId; ... } catch (IOException e) { ...

• There should be a space before the curly braces in method definitions. Arguments are not padded (neither in definition nor invocation):

  Code Block
  language java
  public Device getDevice(DeviceId deviceId) { return store.getDevice(deviceId); }
