| Should interfaces be prefixed with I? [message #47701] |

After some programming with the Eclipse SDK, I kind of like the
convention to begin interface names with an uppercase I - as in
"IStatus" - together with an implementation "class Status implements
IStatus".
With the exception of IFigure, it seems, that GEF doesn't follow this
convention. Implementations of interfaces XXX are some times called
XXImpl, sometimes DefaultXXX, often there're prefixed with a project
specific prefix LogicXXX. Was there any reason not to follow the
eclipse conventions (other than historical ones)?
It's probably too late now, but I wished, it would be changed.

We are trying to follow the Java coding standards. I would like to avoid
IFigure, but then I couldn't decide what to call the default implementation.
We have had suggestions to completely remove interfaces for Figure and
EditPart. What do you think?
We plan to delete all of the PaletteXxx interfaces, and rename the classes
to the interface names.
originally, Draw2d only required SWT, and SWT does not use I prefix for
interfaces.
