Where can I find best practices documentation for Java?

I would like to know where I can find best practices documentation for Java for:

• Coding standards
• Error management
• Logging best practices
• Unit testing
• Properties
• Data access
开发者_如何学Python

etc.

Effective Java, Second Edition

After that, you can look at specific books for specific areas (such as unit testing). There are a lot of ways to do things in Java, so unlike say .NET, there is often no obvious first approach to many common problems - there are competing frameworks.

Beside good documentation (which you have to read, understand and keep in mind) I recommend using some static code analyzer tools which will 'inform' you 'just in time' on your porject if you violate some rules. Have a look at:

• PMD
• FindBugs
• Checkstyle

They all integrate to various IDEs and looking at their documentation (rule sets) is quite valuable.

But - they are just tools. You should always question their warnings - which in turn needs some experience.
