Support field prefixes

[akokuliuk]

are you support prefixes for field, like "mName"?

[vbauer]

No, for what purpose? I think prefixes are generally used in languages like C or C++, but not in Java.

[akokuliuk]

Prefixews in java are good practice, because prefix tells you a scope of this variable, for example when you see variable with prefix "m", you than this variable is field, or var with "_" - is static variable etc.

I have been developing on Java for 10 years and do not know a lot of projects with prefixes. Usually IDEs (or syntax highlighters) use different font styles and colors to show this information, for example Intellij IDEA shows:

• "static" variables with cursive font
• "final" variables with bold font
• field variables with bold non-cursive font

I need to think about this feature, maybe it could sense for some developers.

Another example: when you need to find and use class field, you may type, for example, "m" and autocomplete shows you all class members.
