Class RegexpSinglelineJavaCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable
    public class RegexpSinglelineJavaCheck
extends AbstractCheck

    Checks that a specified pattern matches a single-line in Java files.

    This class is variation on RegexpSingleline for detecting single-lines that match a supplied regular expression in Java files. It supports suppressing matches in Java comments.

    • Property format - Specify the format of the regular expression to match. Type is java.util.regex.Pattern. Default value is "$.".
    • Property message - Specify the message which is used to notify about violations, if empty then default (hard-coded) message is used. Type is java.lang.String. Default value is null.
    • Property ignoreCase - Control whether to ignore case when searching. Type is boolean. Default value is false.
    • Property minimum - Specify the minimum number of matches required in each file. Type is int. Default value is 0.
    • Property maximum - Specify the maximum number of matches required in each file. Type is int. Default value is 0.
    • Property ignoreComments - Control whether to ignore text in comments when searching. Type is boolean. Default value is false.

    To configure the default check: 

     <module name="RegexpSinglelineJava"/>

    This configuration does not match to anything, so we do not provide any code example for it as no violation will ever be reported.

    To configure the check for calls to System.out.println, except in comments: 

     <module name="RegexpSinglelineJava">
   <!-- . matches any character, so we need to
        escape it and use \. to match dots. -->
   <property name="format" value="System\.out\.println"/>
   <property name="ignoreComments" value="true"/>
 </module>

    Example:

     System.out.println(""); // violation, instruction matches illegal pattern
 System.out.
   println(""); // OK
 /* System.out.println */ // OK, comments are ignored

    To configure the check to find case-insensitive occurrences of "debug": 

     <module name="RegexpSinglelineJava">
   <property name="format" value="debug"/>
   <property name="ignoreCase" value="true"/>
 </module>

    Example:

     int debug = 0; // violation, variable name matches illegal pattern
 public class Debug { // violation, class name matches illegal pattern
 /* this is for de
   bug only; */ // OK

    To configure the check to find occurrences of "\.read(.*)|\.write(.*)" and display "IO found" for each violation. 

     <module name="RegexpSinglelineJava">
   <property name="format" value="\.read(.*)|\.write(.*)"/>
   <property name="message" value="IO found"/>
 </module>

    Example:

     FileReader in = new FileReader("path/to/input");
 int ch = in.read(); // violation
 while(ch != -1) {
   System.out.print((char)ch);
   ch = in.read(); // violation
 }

 FileWriter out = new FileWriter("path/to/output");
 out.write("something"); // violation

    To configure the check to find occurrences of "\.log(.*)". We want to allow a maximum of 2 occurrences. 

     <module name="RegexpSinglelineJava">
   <property name="format" value="\.log(.*)"/>
   <property name="maximum" value="2"/>
 </module>

    Example:

     public class Foo{
   public void bar(){
     Logger.log("first"); // OK, first occurrence is allowed
     Logger.log("second"); // OK, second occurrence is allowed
     Logger.log("third"); // violation
     System.out.println("fourth");
     Logger.log("fifth"); // violation
   }
 }

    To configure the check to find all occurrences of "public". We want to ignore comments, display "public member found" for each violation and say if less than 2 occurrences. 

     <module name="RegexpSinglelineJava">
   <property name="format" value="public"/>
   <property name="minimum" value="2"/>
   <property name="message" value="public member found"/>
   <property name="ignoreComments" value="true"/>
 </module>

    Example:

     class Foo{ // violation, file contains less than 2 occurrences of "public"
   private int a;
   /* public comment */ // OK, comment is ignored
   private void bar1() {}
   public void bar2() {} // violation
 }

    Example:

     class Foo{
   private int a;
  /* public comment */ // OK, comment is ignored
   public void bar1() {} // violation
   public void bar2() {} // violation
 }
