Coding Conventions

This small JCrypTool coding conventions guide is a must read for any JCrypTool developer (Core and Crypto). We do not have many rules and conventions, making our documented ones even more important to follow. Any JCrypTool plug-in will be incomplete as long as there are violations against our coding conventions.

Code Quality

We have three required plug-ins that ensure code quality: Checkstyle, FindBugs and Eclipse ResourceBundle Editor. You are required to use these plug-ins and configure Checkstyle to use the JCrypTool Checkstyle configuration. Plug-in information including setup instructions are available here.
