Should we have a team coding standard that the names of abstract classes have prefix Abstract ? e.g.
public abstract class AbstractB implements B {}
Yes, in fact if you look at the javadocs of the standard library at http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/ you’ll find that the list of classes in the bottom-left frame begins with abstract classes using the naming convention you have mentioned in your question.
Take any one of them, say the first one, and check its definition:
AbstractAction. It indeed implementsActionwhich is again similar to your convention. It’s subclasses are named like:ClosedAction,MaximizeAction, etc.
