Programmers should not comment out code as it bloats programs and reduces readability.
Unused code should be deleted and can be retrieved from source control history if required.
Replace this use of System.out or System.err by a logger. Open

When logging a message there are several important requirements which must be fulfilled:
- The user must be able to easily retrieve the logs
- The format of all logged message must be uniform to allow the user to easily read the log
- Logged data must actually be recorded
- Sensitive data must only be logged securely
If a program directly writes to the standard outputs, there is absolutely no way to comply with those requirements. That's why defining and using a dedicated logger is highly recommended.
Noncompliant Code Example
System.out.println("My Message"); // Noncompliant
Compliant Solution
logger.log("My Message");

Abbreviation in name 'ABCGraph' must contain no more than '2' consecutive capital letters. Open

Validates abbreviations (consecutive capital letters) length in identifier name,it also allows to enforce camel case naming. Please read more atGoogle Style Guideto get to know how to avoid long abbreviations in names.
allowedAbbreviationLength
specifies how many consecutive capital letters areallowed in the identifier.A value of 3 indicates that up to 4 consecutive capital letters are allowed,one after the other, before a violation is printed. The identifier 'MyTEST' would beallowed, but 'MyTESTS' would not be.A value of 0 indicates that only 1 consecutive capital letter is allowed. Thisis what should be used to enforce strict camel casing. The identifier 'MyTest' wouldbe allowed, but 'MyTEst' would not be.
ignoreFinal
, ignoreStatic
, and ignoreStaticFinal
control whether variables with the respective modifiers are to be ignored.Note that a variable that is both static and final will always be considered underignoreStaticFinal
only, regardless of the values of ignoreFinal
and ignoreStatic
. So for example if ignoreStatic
is true butignoreStaticFinal
is false, then static final variables will not be ignored.
