Brace Style/Position

Java convention states:

Open brace “{” appears at the end of the same line as the declaration statement.
The opening brace should be at the end of the line that begins the compound statement; the
closing brace should begin a line and be indented to the beginning of the compound
statement.

>Like this

public class Zelda {
   //statements
}

>NOT LIKE THIS

public class Zelda
{
   //statements
}

Fuck people, put the opening brace on the same line as declaration statement. Is it really so hard?

I hate the half-on-half-off style. If you're going to put { on the same line, you should put } on the same line too.


public class Zelda {
  public void start() {
    doSomething(); } }

but that's ugly as fuck. So the only way to be both pretty and consistent is to put every { and } on its own line.
