Boolean checking in the 'if' condition

Question

Which one is better Java coding style?

boolean status = true;
if (!status) {
    //do sth
} else {
    //do sth
}

or:

Answer 1

The first one, or if (status) { /*second clause*/ } else { /* first clause */ }

EDIT

If the second form is really desired, then if (false == status) , while uglier, is probably safer (wrt typos).
