Duplicated string literals make the process of refactoring error-prone, since you must be sure to update all occurrences.
On the other hand, constants can be referenced from many places, but only need to be updated in a single place.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
public void run() { prepare("action1"); // Noncompliant - "action1" is duplicated 3 times execute("action1"); release("action1"); } @SuppressWarning("all") // Compliant - annotations are excluded private void method1() { /* ... */ } @SuppressWarning("all") private void method2() { /* ... */ } public String method3(String a) { System.out.println("'" + a + "'"); // Compliant - literal "'" has less than 5 characters and is excluded return ""; // Compliant - literal "" has less than 5 characters and is excluded }
Compliant Solution
private static final String ACTION_1 = "action1"; // Compliant public void run() { prepare(ACTION_1); // Compliant execute(ACTION_1); release(ACTION_1); }
Exceptions
To prevent generating some false-positives, literals having less than 5 characters are excluded.

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 ( ... ) { //... }

Calling System.gc()
or Runtime.getRuntime().gc()
is a bad idea for a simple reason: there is no way to know exactly what
will be done under the hood by the JVM because the behavior will depend on its vendor, version and options:
- Will the whole application be frozen during the call?
- Is the
-XX:DisableExplicitGC
option activated? - Will the JVM simply ignore the call?
- ...
Like for System.gc()
, there is no reason to manually call runFinalization()
to force the call of finalization methods of
any objects pending finalization.
An application relying on these unpredictable methods is also unpredictable and therefore broken. The task of running the garbage collector and
calling finalize()
methods should be left exclusively to the JVM.

In the interest of code clarity, static
members of a base
class should never be accessed using a derived type's name.
Doing so is confusing and could create the illusion that two different static members exist.

class Parent { public static int counter; } class Child extends Parent { public Child() { Child.counter++; // Noncompliant } }
Compliant Solution
class Parent { public static int counter; } class Child extends Parent { public Child() { Parent.counter++; } }
