Class NoArrayTrailingCommaCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable

    public class NoArrayTrailingCommaCheck
    extends AbstractCheck

    Checks that array initialization do not contain a trailing comma. Rationale: JLS allows trailing commas in arrays and enumerations, but does not allow them in other locations. To unify the coding style, the use of trailing commas should be prohibited.

     int[] foo = new int[] {
       1,
       2
     };
     

    The check demands that there should not be any comma after the last element of an array.

     String[] foo = new String[] {
       "FOO",
       "BAR", //violation
     }
     

    To configure the check:

     <module name="NoArrayTrailingComma"/>
     

    Which results in the following violations:

     String[] foo1 = {
       "FOO", // OK
       "BAR", // violation
     };
     String[] foo2 = { "FOO", "BAR", }; // violation
     String[] foo3 = {
       "FOO", // OK
       "BAR" // OK
     };
     String[] foo4 = { "FOO", "BAR" }; // OK

      • getDefaultTokens

        public int[] getDefaultTokens()
        Description copied from class: AbstractCheck
        Returns the default token a check is interested in. Only used if the configuration for a check does not define the tokens.
        Specified by:
        getDefaultTokens in class AbstractCheck
        Returns:
        the default tokens

      • 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.

      • getRequiredTokens

        public int[] getRequiredTokens()
        Description copied from class: AbstractCheck
        The tokens that this check must be registered for.
        Specified by:
        getRequiredTokens in class AbstractCheck
        Returns:
        the token set this must be registered for.

        public void visitToken​(DetailAST arrayInit)
        Description copied from class: AbstractCheck
        Called to process a token.
        Overrides:
