Pattern: Unnecessary constructor
Issue: -
This rule detects when a constructor is not necessary; i.e., when there's only one constructor, it's public, has an empty body, and takes no arguments, or else contains only a single call to super().
| Property | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| ignoreAnnotations | If true, then do not report violations if a constructor has one or more annotations. |
false |
Example of violations:
class SomeClass {
public SomeClass() { // violation; constructor is not necessary
}
}
class SomeClass2 extends OtherClass {
SomeClass2() { // violation; constructor is not necessary
super()
}
}
