[Webtest] [dev] what naming patterns to use?

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi,

I agree that we have to define a common naming pattern. I couldn't distinguish any in existing code therefore I've 
contributed to the current state using sometimes mine, sometimes what already was in the class I was working on.

Ok for using checkstyle.

My style is of course the best one ;-) but it will be an endless discussion if we start looking at each developer's 
prefered coding convention. Mittie, just decide and configure checkstyle to ensure that the guidelines are respected.

Marc.
