General Formatting Conventions

The Open For Business projects follows the Sun coding standards for Java source code.
For information regarding this standard please visit http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html

In addition to this standard we also use 4 space indention rather than tabs. Make sure no code contains tab characters.
For XML/HTML/FTL files we follow the standard XML/HTML/FTL format (TODO: add link to a reference here); as well as use 4 space indention rather than tabs (note some HTML/FTL files may use 2 spaces instead of 4).

HTML code should be XHTML compliant.

BSH files should follow the same convention as Java files.
