I've got the coding conventions "Java Code Conventions" September 12, 1997. What is not explicit is where to place the static initialization block. Do I place this after "Class (static) variables" and before the "Instance variables"? Or after the "Instance variables" and before "Constructors"? Just don't want to lose "stupid" points on the submission.

I didn't use any static initialization blocks in my assignment, but I would suggest after defining the class variables. And don't forget that the order of these blocks do matter, because the order determines the execution order of these blocks when the class is loaded for the very 1st time (as you already knew of course).
