public class MyClass {
  public static final int first = 1;

public enum MyEnum {

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

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();

Close

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

Fields in a Serializable class must themselves be either Serializable or transient even if the class is never explicitly serialized or deserialized. For instance, under load, most J2EE application frameworks flush objects to disk, and an allegedly Serializable object with non-transient, non-serializable data members could cause program crashes, and open the door to attackers. In general a Serializable class is expected to fulfil its contract and not have an unexpected behaviour when an instance is serialized.

This rule raises an issue on non-Serializable fields, and on collection fields when they are not private (because they could be assigned non-Serializable values externally), and when they are assigned non-Serializable types within the class.

Noncompliant Code Example

public class Address {
  //...
}

public class Person implements Serializable {
  private static final long serialVersionUID = 1905122041950251207L;

  private String name;
  private Address address;  // Noncompliant; Address isn't serializable
}

Compliant Solution

public class Address implements Serializable {
  private static final long serialVersionUID = 2405172041950251807L;
}

public class Person implements Serializable {
  private static final long serialVersionUID = 1905122041950251207L;

  private String name;
  private Address address;
}

Exceptions

The alternative to making all members serializable or transient is to implement special methods which take on the responsibility of properly serializing and de-serializing the object. This rule ignores classes which implement the following methods:

 private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out)
     throws IOException
 private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream in)
     throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException;
