Does anyone know, or have written, a much much shorter and decent

be better and it should include an SSCCE clause.


I took a shot at:

It's not complete. It's on a Wiki though, so feel free to contribute.


    I added some stuff there. I noticed that words with PascalCase are
automatically turned into wiki links. In my case, this is "lucky" in that
all the stuff I wrote in PascalCase turned out to be exception names (e.g.
NullPointerException, ClassNotFoundException), and it might be handy to have
seperate pages on that topic. However, I was too lazy to actually bother to
explain what these exceptions mean and how one could resolve them, so
there's now a few extra dead links on the above mentioned page.
