There are various reasons for choosing an indent style, including (but not limited to) readability, publishing costs, standard conventions, etc.why, when learning Java, books often use one indent structure, but on the SCJP, a different indent structure is used.
That's the inference I would have hoped you got from the article.Is the answer (inferred from the wiki link) simply 'there are different styles, and each is appropriate, depending on preferences?

I don't know; I've seen worse "styles" than that (sounds like the old Visual Age way of doing it)...This gets my vote for the worst indent style for Java.

Daniel's question, and this was part of my point before, was specifically about the style found in most books vs. the style found on the SCJP.
But if I had asked Daniel's question I would have liked anybody putting the smackdown on me (i.e. "Just a few I found in this forum of the probably hundreds of times this question has been asked on JavaRanch) to have read my question with at least something like 'benefit of the doubt' in mind before chastising me. It makes those of us newbies who *are* trying very hard to follow the etiquitte here reluctant to ask questions, even after we have done lots of research and lots of searches.
