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.
Noncompliant Code Example
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++; } }

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}", ";");

According to Joshua Bloch, author of "Effective Java":
The constant interface pattern is a poor use of interfaces.
That a class uses some constants internally is an implementation detail.
Implementing a constant interface causes this implementation detail to leak into the class's exported API. It is of no consequence to the users of a class that the class implements a constant interface. In fact, it may even confuse them. Worse, it represents a commitment: if in a future release the class is modified so that it no longer needs to use the constants, it still must implement the interface to ensure binary compatibility. If a nonfinal class implements a constant interface,
all of its subclasses will have their namespaces polluted by the constants in the interface.
This rule raises an issue when an interface consists solely of fields, without any other members.
Noncompliant Code Example
interface Status { // Noncompliant int OPEN = 1; int CLOSED = 2; }
Compliant Solution
public enum Status { // Compliant OPEN, CLOSED; }
or
public final class Status { // Compliant public static final int OPEN = 1; public static final int CLOSED = 2; }

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.

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

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.
