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.

Make "fileFilters" transient or serializable. Open
private List<FileFilter> fileFilters;
- Read upRead up
- Create a ticketCreate a ticket
- Exclude checks
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;
