Class AbbreviationAsWordInNameCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable
    public class AbbreviationAsWordInNameCheck
extends AbstractCheck
    Validates abbreviations (consecutive capital letters) length in identifier name, it also allows to enforce camel case naming. Please read more at Google Style Guide to get to know how to avoid long abbreviations in names.

    '_' is considered as word separator in identifier name.

    allowedAbbreviationLength specifies how many consecutive capital letters are allowed in the identifier. A value of 3 indicates that up to 4 consecutive capital letters are allowed, one after the other, before a violation is printed. The identifier 'MyTEST' would be allowed, but 'MyTESTS' would not be. A value of 0 indicates that only 1 consecutive capital letter is allowed. This is what should be used to enforce strict camel casing. The identifier 'MyTest' would be allowed, but 'MyTEst' would not be.

    ignoreFinal, ignoreStatic, and ignoreStaticFinal control whether variables with the respective modifiers are to be ignored. Note that a variable that is both static and final will always be considered under ignoreStaticFinal only, regardless of the values of ignoreFinal and ignoreStatic. So for example if ignoreStatic is true but ignoreStaticFinal is false, then static final variables will not be ignored.

    • Property allowedAbbreviationLength - Indicate the number of consecutive capital letters allowed in targeted identifiers (abbreviations in the classes, interfaces, variables and methods names, ... ). Type is int. Default value is 3.
    • Property allowedAbbreviations - Specify abbreviations that must be skipped for checking. Type is java.lang.String[]. Default value is "".
    • Property ignoreFinal - Allow to skip variables with final modifier. Type is boolean. Default value is true.
    • Property ignoreOverriddenMethods - Allow to ignore methods tagged with @Override annotation (that usually mean inherited name). Type is boolean. Default value is true.
    • Property ignoreStatic - Allow to skip variables with static modifier. Type is boolean. Default value is true.
    • Property ignoreStaticFinal - Allow to skip variables with both static and final modifiers. Type is boolean. Default value is true.
    • Property tokens - tokens to check Type is java.lang.String[]. Validation type is tokenSet. Default value is: CLASS_DEF, INTERFACE_DEF, ENUM_DEF, ANNOTATION_DEF, ANNOTATION_FIELD_DEF, PARAMETER_DEF, VARIABLE_DEF, METHOD_DEF, PATTERN_VARIABLE_DEF, RECORD_DEF, RECORD_COMPONENT_DEF.
