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.

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.

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 // ...

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}", ";");
