Modifiers
Checks that the order of modifiers conforms to the suggestions in the Java Language specification, sections 8.1.1, 8.3.1 and 8.4.3. The correct order is:
To configure the check:
 |
|
|
|
<module name="ModifierOrder"/> |

Checks for redundant modifiers in interface and annotation definitions. Also checks for redundant final modifiers on methods of final classes.
Rationale: The Java Language Specification strongly discourages the usage of "public" and "abstract" for method declarations in interface definitions as a matter of style.
Variables in interfaces and annotations are automatically public, static and final, so these modifiers are redundant as well.
As annotations are a form of interface, their fields are also automatically public, static and final just as their annotation fields are automatically public and abstract.
Final classes by definition can not be extended so the final modifier on the method of a final class is redundant.
| name | description | type | default value |
|---|---|---|---|
| tokens | tokens to check | subset of tokens METHOD_DEF, VARIABLE_DEF, ANNOTATION_FIELD_DEF | METHOD_DEF, VARIABLE_DEF, ANNOTATION_FIELD_DEF |
To configure the check:
|
|
|
|
<module name="RedundantModifier"/> |
|
|
|
|
To configure the check to check only methods and not variables:
|
|
|
|
<module name="RedundantModifier"> <property name="tokens" value="METHOD_DEF"/> </module> |
