Class ClassMemberImpliedModifierCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable
    public class ClassMemberImpliedModifierCheck
extends AbstractCheck
    Checks for implicit modifiers on nested types in classes and records.

    This check is effectively the opposite of RedundantModifier. It checks the modifiers on nested types in classes and records, ensuring that certain modifiers are explicitly specified even though they are actually redundant.

    Nested enums, interfaces, and records within a class are always static and as such the compiler does not require the static modifier. This check provides the ability to enforce that the static modifier is explicitly coded and not implicitly added by the compiler. 

     public final class Person {
   enum Age {  // violation
     CHILD, ADULT
   }
 }

    Rationale for this check: Nested enums, interfaces, and records are treated differently from nested classes as they are only allowed to be static. Developers should not need to remember this rule, and this check provides the means to enforce that the modifier is coded explicitly.

    • Property violateImpliedStaticOnNestedEnum - Control whether to enforce that static is explicitly coded on nested enums in classes and records. Type is boolean. Default value is true.
    • Property violateImpliedStaticOnNestedInterface - Control whether to enforce that static is explicitly coded on nested interfaces in classes and records. Type is boolean. Default value is true.
    • Property violateImpliedStaticOnNestedRecord - Control whether to enforce that static is explicitly coded on nested records in classes and records. Type is boolean. Default value is true.

      • getAcceptableTokens

        public int[] getAcceptableTokens()
        Description copied from class: AbstractCheck
        The configurable token set. Used to protect Checks against malicious users who specify an unacceptable token set in the configuration file. The default implementation returns the check's default tokens.
        Specified by:
        getAcceptableTokens in class AbstractCheck
        Returns:
        the token set this check is designed for.

      • isInTypeBlock

        private static boolean isInTypeBlock​(DetailAST ast)
        Checks if ast is in a class, enum, anon class or record block.
        Parameters:
        ast - the current ast
        Returns:
        true if ast is in a class, enum, anon class or record
