The Guidelines:
- Guideline: Force a proper initial state.
- Guideline: Keep constructors and initializers focused on
initialization.
- Guideline: Invoke the
this() constructor with the most
parameters.
- Guideline: Make clones of mutable referenced objects
in
clone().
- Guideline: Watch out for transient variables when
deserializing.
- Guideline: Don't depend upon "timely" finalization
for program correctness.
- Guideline: Use finalizers knowledgeably.
