IF YOU FIND THIS HELP FULL PLEASE COMMENT OF WHY MANY THANKS JUST LOOKING FOR A WAY TO BECOME A BETTER PROGRAMMER AND GET THE RIGHT STYLE

I wouldn't use StackOverflow for that (though I'm interested whether it will work ;)

I would rather use some plugins to make your code better readable, usable, robust, performant, correct ... Suggested road-map:

• Install checkstyle to get acquainted with coding conventions and styles. Once you are familiar with it, rather soften the rules.
• Use Findbugs and PMD to find bugs, risky or performance-critical parts in your code.
• Start using metrics, e.g. about dependencies (e.g. jdepend), cyclomatic complexity (e.g.JavaNCSS) and test coverage (e.g. eclemma),
• Oh yes, and Write a lot of test cases (beforehand) for your code, e.g. to see how usable it is.

From here, you can go to

• continuous integration, e.g. using Jenkins together with Sonar.
• further agile practices to improve, especially using code reviews and pair programming
• get into clean code development (see Java tool to improve my Clean Code Development for support)
