[java] ConfusingTernary should treat != null as positive condition · Issue #278 · pmd/pmd · GitHub

Rule Set: ConfusingTernary

Description:

ConfusingTernary should treat negative comparisons with null as a positive condtion.

The condition "!= null" is often used to mean "the item is present" rather than "the item is not absent".

Rewriting using "== null" would make the code much harder to follow.

Code Sample demonstrating the issue:

if (parser.getArgumentById(VERSION_OPT) != null) {
...
} else if (parser.getArgumentById(HELP_OPT) != null) {
...
} else if (parser.getArgumentById(OPTIONS_OPT) != null) {
...
} else if (parser.getArgumentById(SERVER_OPT) != null) {
...
