Class UncommentedMainCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable
    public class UncommentedMainCheck
extends AbstractCheck
    Detects uncommented main methods.

    Rationale: A main method is often used for debugging purposes. When debugging is finished, developers often forget to remove the method, which changes the API and increases the size of the resulting class or JAR file. Except for the real program entry points, all main methods should be removed or commented out of the sources.

    • Property excludedClasses - Specify pattern for qualified names of classes which are allowed to have a main method. Type is java.util.regex.Pattern. Default value is "^$".
