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.
Noncompliant Code Example
public void doSomething() { } public void doSomethingElse() { }
Compliant Solution
@Override public void doSomething() { // Do nothing because of X and Y. } @Override public void doSomethingElse() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException(); }
Exceptions
Default (no-argument) constructors are ignored when there are other constructors in the class, as are empty methods in abstract classes.
public abstract class Animal { void speak() { // default implementation ignored } }
Replace this call to "replaceAll()" by a call to the "replace()" method. Open

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}", ";");

Looking at the set of methods in a class, including superclass methods, and finding two methods or fields that differ only by capitalization is confusing to users of the class. It is similarly confusing to have a method and a field which differ only in capitalization or a method and a field with exactly the same name and visibility.
In the case of methods, it may have been a mistake on the part of the original developer, who intended to override a superclass method, but instead added a new method with nearly the same name.
Otherwise, this situation simply indicates poor naming. Method names should be action-oriented, and thus contain a verb, which is unlikely in the case where both a method and a member have the same name (with or without capitalization differences). However, renaming a public method could be disruptive to callers. Therefore renaming the member is the recommended action.
Noncompliant Code Example
public class Car{ public DriveTrain drive; public void tearDown(){...} public void drive() {...} // Noncompliant; duplicates field name } public class MyCar extends Car{ public void teardown(){...} // Noncompliant; not an override. It it really what's intended? public void drivefast(){...} public void driveFast(){...} //Huh? }
Compliant Solution
public class Car{ private DriveTrain drive; public void tearDown(){...} public void drive() {...} // field visibility reduced } public class MyCar extends Car{ @Override public void tearDown(){...} public void drivefast(){...} public void driveReallyFast(){...} }

Use try-with-resources or close this "ZipOutputStream" in a "finally" clause. Open

Connections, streams, files, and other classes that implement the Closeable
interface or its super-interface,
AutoCloseable
, needs to be closed after use. Further, that close
call must be made in a finally
block otherwise
an exception could keep the call from being made. Preferably, when class implements AutoCloseable
, resource should be created using
"try-with-resources" pattern and will be closed automatically.
Failure to properly close resources will result in a resource leak which could bring first the application and then perhaps the box the application is on to their knees.
Noncompliant Code Example
private void readTheFile() throws IOException { Path path = Paths.get(this.fileName); BufferedReader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(path, this.charset); // ... reader.close(); // Noncompliant // ... Files.lines("input.txt").forEach(System.out::println); // Noncompliant: The stream needs to be closed } private void doSomething() { OutputStream stream = null; try { for (String property : propertyList) { stream = new FileOutputStream("myfile.txt"); // Noncompliant // ... } } catch (Exception e) { // ... } finally { stream.close(); // Multiple streams were opened. Only the last is closed. } }
Compliant Solution
private void readTheFile(String fileName) throws IOException { Path path = Paths.get(fileName); try (BufferedReader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(path, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)) { reader.readLine(); // ... } // .. try (Stream<String> input = Files.lines("input.txt")) { input.forEach(System.out::println); } } private void doSomething() { OutputStream stream = null; try { stream = new FileOutputStream("myfile.txt"); for (String property : propertyList) { // ... } } catch (Exception e) { // ... } finally { stream.close(); } }
Exceptions
Instances of the following classes are ignored by this rule because close
has no effect:
-
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream
-
java.io.ByteArrayInputStream
-
java.io.CharArrayReader
-
java.io.CharArrayWriter
-
java.io.StringReader
-
java.io.StringWriter
Java 7 introduced the try-with-resources statement, which implicitly closes Closeables
. All resources opened in a try-with-resources
statement are ignored by this rule.
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName))) { //... } catch ( ... ) { //... }
