Even if it is technically possible, Restricted Identifiers should not be used as identifiers. This is only possible for compatibility reasons, using it in Java code is confusing and should be avoided.

Note that this applies to any version of Java, including the one where these identifiers are not yet restricted, to avoid future confusion.

This rule reports an issue when restricted identifiers:

• var
• yield
• record

are used as identifiers.

Noncompliant Code Example

var var = "var"; // Noncompliant: compiles but this code is confusing
var = "what is this?";

int yield(int i) { // Noncompliant
  return switch (i) {
    case 1: yield(0); // This is a yield from switch expression, not a recursive call.
    default: yield(i-1);
  };
}

String record = "record"; // Noncompliant

Compliant Solution

var myVariable = "var";

int minusOne(int i) {
  return switch (i) {
    case 1: yield(0);
    default: yield(i-1);
  };
}

String myRecord = "record";

Duplicated Code

Duplicated code can lead to software that is hard to understand and difficult to change. The Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle states:

Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.

When you violate DRY, bugs and maintenance problems are sure to follow. Duplicated code has a tendency to both continue to replicate and also to diverge (leaving bugs as two similar implementations differ in subtle ways).

Tuning

This issue has a mass of 117.

We set useful threshold defaults for the languages we support but you may want to adjust these settings based on your project guidelines.

The threshold configuration represents the minimum mass a code block must have to be analyzed for duplication. The lower the threshold, the more fine-grained the comparison.

If the engine is too easily reporting duplication, try raising the threshold. If you suspect that the engine isn't catching enough duplication, try lowering the threshold. The best setting tends to differ from language to language.

See codeclimate-duplication's documentation for more information about tuning the mass threshold in your .codeclimate.yml.

Checks for long lines.

Rationale: Long lines are hard to read in printouts or if developershave limited screen space for the source code, e.g. if the IDEdisplays additional information like project tree, class hierarchy,etc.
