switch (featureID) {

The requirement for a final default
clause is defensive programming. The clause should either take appropriate action, or contain a
suitable comment as to why no action is taken.
Noncompliant Code Example
switch (param) { //missing default clause case 0: doSomething(); break; case 1: doSomethingElse(); break; } switch (param) { default: // default clause should be the last one error(); break; case 0: doSomething(); break; case 1: doSomethingElse(); break; }
Compliant Solution
switch (param) { case 0: doSomething(); break; case 1: doSomethingElse(); break; default: error(); break; }
Exceptions
If the switch
parameter is an Enum
and if all the constants of this enum are used in the case
statements,
then no default
clause is expected.
Example:
public enum Day { SUNDAY, MONDAY } ... switch(day) { case SUNDAY: doSomething(); break; case MONDAY: doSomethingElse(); break; }

Rename this constant name to match the regular expression '^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*(_[A-Z0-9]+)*$'. Open

Shared coding conventions allow teams to collaborate efficiently. This rule checks that all constant names match a provided regular expression.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default regular expression ^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*(_[A-Z0-9]+)*$
:
public class MyClass { public static final int first = 1; } public enum MyEnum { first; }
Compliant Solution
public class MyClass { public static final int FIRST = 1; } public enum MyEnum { FIRST; }
Replace this call to "replaceAll()" by a call to the "replace()" method. Open
.replaceAll("<rect class=\"zoom-and-drag\"", "");

The underlying implementation of String::replaceAll
calls the java.util.regex.Pattern.compile()
method each time it is
called even if the first argument is not a regular expression. This has a significant performance cost and therefore should be used with care.
When String::replaceAll
is used, the first argument should be a real regular expression. If it’s not the case,
String::replace
does exactly the same thing as String::replaceAll
without the performance drawback of the regex.
This rule raises an issue for each String::replaceAll
used with a String
as first parameter which doesn’t contains
special regex character or pattern.
Noncompliant Code Example
String init = "Bob is a Bird... Bob is a Plane... Bob is Superman!"; String changed = init.replaceAll("Bob is", "It's"); // Noncompliant changed = changed.replaceAll("\\.\\.\\.", ";"); // Noncompliant
Compliant Solution
String init = "Bob is a Bird... Bob is a Plane... Bob is Superman!"; String changed = init.replace("Bob is", "It's"); changed = changed.replace("...", ";");
Or, with a regex:
String init = "Bob is a Bird... Bob is a Plane... Bob is Superman!"; String changed = init.replaceAll("\\w*\\sis", "It's"); changed = changed.replaceAll("\\.{3}", ";");

There are several reasons for a method not to have a method body:
- It is an unintentional omission, and should be fixed to prevent an unexpected behavior in production.
- It is not yet, or never will be, supported. In this case an
UnsupportedOperationException
should be thrown. - The method is an intentionally-blank override. In this case a nested comment should explain the reason for the blank override.
