Hi all, the github dependabot opened a PR to upgrade checkstyle, as it has a vulnerability... don't think we'd be much affected, but the bot is going to be persistent and open new PRs for it in the future, so I've tried to fix it.
There is however a catch... checkstyle changed enough that our current rule set needed amending, removing references to rules that have been deprecated and removed in the meantime. Checkstyle also became more strict, and it's now reporting dangling undocumented parameters (before it was reporting only dangling _documented_ parameters, ignoring the undocumented ones). Went down the rabbit hole, and found myself fixing tens of errors per module... too many to handle by hand on a 120+ modules project. Also, I was fixing one time removing the param, another time fixing its name... inconsistent. Finding dangling params is hard, but finding undocumented ones is easy.... while I was at it I run seds to remove all undocumented params, returns, and throws tags as they really add nothing (once upon a time they were used by completion engines, before bytecode libraries became widespread). Here is the cleanup action: find . -name "*.java" -exec sed -E -i "/^.*@param\s\w+\s*$/d" {} \; find . -name "*.java" -exec sed -E -i "/^.*@param\s*$/d" {} \; find . -name "*.java" -exec sed -E -i "/^.*@return\s*$/d" {} \; find . -name "*.java" -exec sed -E -i "/^.*@throws\s\w+\s*$/d" {} \; I did find one case where the param was on a line, and the description on the next... and could surely use a second pair of eyes to spot the few other cases where this might also happened (I stared at the diff for half an hour without spotting others): https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/2781 The ugly side... 1500+ files modified, there were a lot of undocumented tags! If there are no objections, I'll merge this one and backport the changes to the stable and maintenance branches, to avoid backport nightmares in the next few months Cheers Andrea == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
