UncommentedEmptyMethod

Uncommented Empty Method finds instances where a method does not contain statements, but there is no comment. By explicitly commenting empty methods it is easier to distinguish between intentional (commented) and unintentional empty methods.

This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:

    
//MethodDeclaration/Block[count(BlockStatement) = 0 and @containsComment = 'false']
 
             

Example:

                
  
public void doSomething() {
}
