Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Open the jdev\bin\jdev.conf path under the jdeveloper directory."

A block of code is set as follows:

# optimize the JVM for strings / text editing
AddVMOption -XX:+UseStringCache
AddVMOption -XX:+OptimizeStringConcat
AddVMOption -XX:+UseCompressedStrings

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

builder.append("AdfPage.PAGE.showMessages(component.getClientId());");
builder.append("component.focus();");
erks.addScript(context, builder.toString());

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Click on Finish after you finish and you will have the entire book's Git repository locally."
