Class layout: see here http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConventions.doc2.html#1852

• Class (static) variables
• Instance variables
• Constructors
• Methods

However, this part of the conventions is not quite as widely confirmed as the others: when using unclassified class names or variable names with capital letters, the overwhelming majority of Java programmers immediately protest, many of them agree to place fields next to the methods that act on them.
