Java differs from many languages because it has more or less standard
code conventions, created by SUN and used, as far as I know, more or
less by everybody. Look here:
http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/
These conventions doesn't use Hungarian notation, and so very few Java
programmers use them.
It is very different from C++, where there are many competing standards,
some of which (Microsoft) use Hungarian notation. I think, in Microsoft
case there was sense in Hungarian notation - because in early Windows
(and in current Windows also) most types were the same (integers or
handlers) - and it was impossible for compiler to distinguish them. So
Hungarian notation helped to ensure type safety.
In Java case type safety is insured by language (most variables have
clearly defined types), and type errors are very quickly shown by
compiler or in run time, so you can free variable names from easily
obtained information.
