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(){...} }
Add a nested comment explaining why this method is empty, throw an UnsupportedOperationException or complete the implementation. Open
public void saveCurrentValue(NodeSettingsWO content) {}

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 } }

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(); } }
