General guidelines

• Do not use reserved java words.
• Do not use spaces.
• Do not abbreviate.
• Do not use punctuation.
• Do not start the name with a number.

Here are our project guidelines for naming properties:

• Generally, do not abbreviate. The exceptions are SA, and SP, for when the name would get too long if written as is. For example: ServiceAgreement, as part of a much longer field name.
• In line with the above, spell out amount and total.
• Boolean values (SW) are prefixed with is, has, can, are, or should, according to what is grammatically correct.
• Date fields end with Date.
• Time fields end with Time.
• Datetime fields end with DateTime.
• Id is spelled Id.
• Do not include a final Flag (FLG) or Code (CD).
• Use min instead of minimum, and max instead of maximum.
• Can be generic. That is, for the field BILL_​STATUS, you can just name it status.
