The PMD inspector says the following if statement contains "Useless parentheses."
if ((isEventTimestamp && isLiteralValue) || (isEventTimestamp && isPattern) || (isLiteralValue && isPattern)) { LOGGER.error("The pattern, literal, and isEventTimestamp attributes are mutually exclusive."); return null; } I'm all for removing useless parentheses; unfortunately, I don't see how these are useless. The way I see it, if isLiteralValue is false, with parentheses it will (correctly) continue to evaluate after the first grouped condition but without parentheses it would (incorrectly) short circuit after the first use of isLiteralValue. Am I missing something here? Or is this a PMD bug?
