Guidelines

OBJ00-J. Declare data members as private and provide accessible wrapper methods

OBJ01-J. Be aware that a final reference may not always refer to immutable data

OBJ02-J. Do not ignore return values of methods that operate on immutable objects

OBJ03-J. Do not use public static non-final variables

OBJ04-J. Do not allow partially initialized objects to be accessed

OBJ05-J. Limit the extensibility of non-final classes and methods to only trusted subclasses

OBJ06-J. Compare classes and not class names

OBJ07-J. Understand how a superclass can affect a subclass

OBJ08-J. Avoid using finalizers

OBJ09-J. Immutable classes must prohibit extension

OBJ10-J. Provide mutable classes with copy functionality to allow passing instances to untrusted code safely

OBJ11-J. Defensively copy private mutable class members before returning their references

OBJ12-J. Use checked collections against external code

OBJ13-J. Write garbage collection friendly code

OBJ14-J. Encapsulate the absence of an object by using a Null Object

OBJ15-J. Ensure that keys used in comparison operations cannot be changed
