A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM : Drop code convention to follow casts by blank space In the "Code Conventions for the JavaTM Programming Language", At 8.2 there is the advice, that casts should be followed by a blank space. Justification: - Cast is a one-operand operator like - -- ++, so should better be joined to it's value/expression. - The above mentioned rule is rarely accepted and used, even in Sun's JDK code base. Difficult to make progress on maintaining JDK code conventions. URL OF FAULTY DOCUMENTATION : http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConventions.doc7.html#682
