Type_Resolution_Rules
e_Resolution_Rules">Type Resolution Rules
LooseCoupling:
Avoid using implementation types (i.e., HashSet); use the interface (i.e, Set) instead
CloneMethodMustImplementCloneable:
The method clone() should only be implemented if the class implements the
Cloneable interface with the exception of a final method that only throws
CloneNotSupportedException. This version uses PMD's type resolution facilities,
and can detect if the class implements or extends a Cloneable class
UnusedImports:
Avoid unused import statements. This rule will find unused on demand imports, i.e. import com.foo.*.
SignatureDeclareThrowsException:
It is unclear which exceptions that can be thrown from the methods.
It might be difficult to document and understand the vague interfaces.
Use either a class derived from RuntimeException or a checked exception.
Junit classes are excluded.
