Hello all,
I’m using Maven-Checkstyle-Plugin version 2.17 (with Checkstyle 6.11.2).
I’m trying to get the Checkstyle plugin to break the build whenever one of
the pre-JDK8 date/time types are used in the *public API* (but not the
internal state) of a class. This implies that applications can use properly
working date/time classes while making ORM frameworks adhere to the JPA
standard - which works properly with pre-JDK8 date/time types. The pattern
becomes:
*Example:*
@NotNull
@Basic(optional = false)
@Column(nullable = false)
@Temporal(value = TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private Calendar startTime;
… with the corresponding getter …
/**
* @return The start time of the Activity.
*/
public ZonedDateTime getStartTime() {
return ZonedDateTime.ofInstant(startTime.toInstant(),
startTime.getTimeZone().toZoneId());
}
*Checkstyle configuration:*
Rule configuration should be simple enough, according to the documentation.
Simply is the property ”tokens” to set the illegal types to be used as
PARAMETER_DEF and METHOD_DEF only (and hence not VARIABLE_DEF), and the
private Calendar startTime should pass validation. The configuration is
shown below.
<module name="IllegalType">
<property name="severity" value="error"/>
<property name="tokens" value="PARAMETER_DEF,METHOD_DEF"/>
<property name="validateAbstractClassNames" value="true"/>
<property name="illegalClassNames"
value="java.util.GregorianCalendar, java.util.Calendar,
java.util.Date, java.util.Vector, java.util.Properties"/>
<property name="format" value="thisShouldMatchNothingReally"/>
</module>
However, when running the check, maven-checkstyle-plugin breaks the build
on the startTime variable (which should correspond to a VARIABLE_DEF …
which is not present in the configuration). What am I missing here? The
Checkstyle plugin seems to ignore the ”tokens” property:
[ERROR]
src/main/java/se/mithlond/services/organisation/model/activity/Activity.java:[155,17]
(coding) IllegalType: Declaring *variables,* return values or parameters of
type 'Calendar' is not allowed.
