Java happens to be a favorite tool, one that fits my brain the way my favorite wood carving chisel fits my hand. On the other hand, I no more subscribe to "the Java way" than to a "the half inch chisel way". When I'm starting a new program, in a situation in which I'm free to use any standards I like, I follow the commonest conventions for the program's language. If I'm modifying or adding to an existing project, or working in an organization that has other conventions, I follow the local conventions.
