Uncommented Empty Constructor finds instances where a constructor does not contain statements, but there is no comment. By explicitly commenting empty constructors it is easier to distinguish between intentional (commented) and unintentional empty constructors.
This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:
//ConstructorDeclaration[@Visibility != "private"]
[not(
pmd-java:hasAnnotation('javax.inject.Inject')
or pmd-java:hasAnnotation('org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired')
)]
[Block[
@containsComment = false()
and (count(*) = 0 or ($ignoreExplicitConstructorInvocation = true() and count(*) = 1 and ExplicitConstructorInvocation))
]]
Example(s):
public Foo() {
// This constructor is intentionally empty. Nothing special is needed here.
}
This rule has the following properties:
Name Default Value Description ignoreExplicitConstructorInvocation false Ignore explicit constructor invocation when deciding whether constructor is empty or notUse this rule with the default properties by just referencing it:
<rule ref="category/java/documentation.xml/UncommentedEmptyConstructor" />
Use this rule and customize it:
<rule ref="category/java/documentation.xml/UncommentedEmptyConstructor">

<property name="ignoreExplicitConstructorInvocation" value="false" />
</properties>
</rule>
UncommentedEmptyMethodBody
Since: PMD 3.4
Priority: Medium (3)
Uncommented Empty Method Body finds instances where a method body does not contain statements, but there is no comment. By explicitly commenting empty method bodies it is easier to distinguish between intentional (commented) and unintentional empty methods.
This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:
//MethodDeclaration/Block[count(*) = 0 and @containsComment = false()]
Example(s):
public void doSomething() {
}
Use this rule by referencing it:
<rule ref="category/java/documentation.xml/UncommentedEmptyMethodBody" />
