If a private
field is declared but not used in the program, it can be considered dead code and should therefore be removed. This will
improve maintainability because developers will not wonder what the variable is used for.
Note that this rule does not take reflection into account, which means that issues will be raised on private
fields that are only
accessed using the reflection API.
Noncompliant Code Example
public class MyClass { private int foo = 42; public int compute(int a) { return a * 42; } }
Compliant Solution
public class MyClass { public int compute(int a) { return a * 42; } }
Exceptions
The Java serialization runtime associates with each serializable class a version number, called serialVersionUID
, which is used during
deserialization to verify that the sender and receiver of a serialized object have loaded classes for that object that are compatible with respect to
serialization.
A serializable class can declare its own serialVersionUID
explicitly by declaring a field named serialVersionUID
that
must be static, final, and of type long. By definition those serialVersionUID
fields should not be reported by this rule:
public class MyClass implements java.io.Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 42L; }
Moreover, this rule doesn't raise any issue on annotated fields.
Parameter name 's' must match pattern '^[a-z][a-z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9]*$'. Open
