Although the revision date is April 20, 1999, these are the most recent "official" style conventions and guidelines.

Many organizations use this as a baseline and expand on or modify these guidelines as necessary.

There is very little that was added to the language since 1999. Some of the missing parts can easily be derived from existing parts: Naming enum values? equivalent to "Constants". Naming annotations? equivalent to interfaces.
