  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable

    public class NoWhitespaceBeforeCaseDefaultColonCheck
    extends AbstractCheck

    Checks that there is no whitespace before the colon in a switch block.

    To configure the check:

     <module name="NoWhitespaceBeforeCaseDefaultColon"/>
     

    Example:

     class Test {
       {
         switch(1) {
             case 1 : // violation, whitespace before ':' is not allowed here
                 break;
             case 2: // ok
                 break;
             default : // violation, whitespace before ':' is not allowed here
                 break;
         }
    
         switch(2) {
             case 2: // ok
                 break;
             case 3, 4
                      : break; // violation, whitespace before ':' is not allowed here
             case 4,
                   5: break; // ok
             default
                   : // violation, whitespace before ':' is not allowed here
                 break;
         }
    
         switch(day) {
             case MONDAY, FRIDAY, SUNDAY: System.out.println("  6"); break;
             case TUESDAY               : System.out.println("  7"); break; // violation
       }
     }
