yes, there is, e.g. [Java Style
Guidelines](http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alundblad/styleguide/index-v6.html#toc-variable-declarations) by Andreas
Lundblad:
> Square brackets of arrays should be at the type (String[] args) and not on the variable (String args[]).

although @aioobe's guidelines have been accepted (yet?) to the openjdk guide (see openjdk/guide#14), this particular
item is agreed on and accepted almost unanimously in the industry.
