jboss seam has a nice page about coding standards and where to being in general: http://seamframework.org/Community/GettingStartedDevelopingTheSeamFramework but i have much more experience in hibernate, and i've been developing in java for 3 years. i would like to start going over small problems in jira, maybe to fix them, but i wonder if there are some architecture documentations about clases, packages, where to put what and when, and such matters. where do i begin?
