An question that was brought to my mind when programming with Swing in Java was, is it a recommendation or an "official"/most used naming convention(prefix) on Swing components.

Such as(even though other may prefer other naming conventions this is what I am currently using):

  • txt for JTextField
  • btn for JButton
  • lbl for JLabel
  • pnl for JPanel

But then my list ends..

I think such prefixes enhance the readability in my code so, but I do not have any names for components such as JComboBox, JList, JRadioButton, JCheckButton and so the list goes on.

Thanks in advance.
