checkstyle | development tool to help programmers write Java code | Code Analyzer library

Check the exact bytes at that position. There's probably an actual character up there, such as a non-breaking-space; word processors commonly 'fancy up' your inputs and turn them into weird characters. For example, if you paste "hello" into word and then back into java it is no longer a string constant because word decided to turn them into curly quotes: “hello” which isn't java. That same strategy can be used to sneak non-breaking spaces and the like in there. The vast majority of blank unicode characters count as whitespace, but the checkstyle plugin may be broken in this regard (it would only consider space and tab as irrelevant). Alternatively, checkstyle may be requiring a space after the * on the empty line, so that the full set of characters on that line is \t * (tab, space, star, space).

your process is broken. You have a style checker and you're now focussing on something that is utterly irrelevant, but your javadoc is horrible.

You have a method presumably named countDrinksInFridge(), and you 'documented' this method with javadoc that gives you completely useless non-info, and does it twice, to boot! There's a reason DRY is a near universally agreed upon fantastic tenet in programming, and you just violated it. twice, no less.

The fact that a style checker is whining about which exact kind of space character you used but thinks it is perfectly peachy to write boneheaded javadoc should be proof enough that it's clearly not doing what it's supposed to.

Good documentation rules are as follows. They are all based on a simple idea: Documentation should be maintained, maintenance isn't free, and documentation is hard to impossible to test, so any errors in them tend to hang around for a long time before someone realizes it is wrong. Just like in writing code, if you have needlessly taken 10 lines to code something that could have been done just as efficiently in 2, you've messed up. The same applies to documentation. Do not repeat yourself, do not provide pointless or redundant information. Say it clearly and say it succintly.

• If you have nothing more to add because the method name exactly describes the entire nature of a method, then do not document it. The method name IS documentation. Let it stand on its own.

• If you do have something to add but describing what it returns fully covers it, then just write the @return tag. This is fine:

You are inheriting version for com.google.cloud:spring-cloud-gcp-dependencies from project.version, which is 2.3.12.RELEASE in your case.

You're declaring a dependency on Servlet Spec 5.0 (and explicitly state that you're using a Jakarta servlet).

Thus, it's mandatory that you're using Tomcat 10. Works as declared/designed. Not an issue.

Basically, fastest way is to modify checks regex with negative lookahead, e.g.

The plugin by default comes with Checkstyle version 8.29. Try explicitly defining the CheckStyle version (plus a small version bump to 3.1.2). For example, with version 9.2:

In IntelliJ you can go to settings -> code style -> java -> Imports Tab

There you have the Imports layout, where you can set up your needed settings.

So I discovered what the problem was. The issue really wasn't the database's fault or even the queries that were being used. It turns out that our system was using the same Transaction subsystem for both it our Data Source (Postgres Database) and our JMS messaging system. When a JMS message was sent, it created a transaction and every transactional based action that followed during the life cycle of that tread/transaction would be treated as part of that original transaction. Which includes all of our database calls.....

This explains why a query as simple as insert into a message log was touching all of our relations in the database. The debug queries only showed me the first query/statement sent to the database, not all of the others that were used during the life cycle of the JMS message. There were several ways to fix this but my team opted for the easiest which was preventing the Data Source from using the JBoss provided Transaction Manager.

it is not so easy, but there a few ways (or workarounds?)

1. You can use MatchXPathCheck to report violation on any usage of CascadeType.ALL. Config will look like

Replace 1.11 by 11
