All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Contextualizable

public class EmptyBlockCheck
extends AbstractCheck

Checks for empty blocks. This check does not validate sequential blocks. The policy to verify is specified using the BlockOption class and defaults to BlockOption.STATEMENT.

By default the check will check the following blocks: LITERAL_WHILE, LITERAL_TRY, LITERAL_FINALLY, LITERAL_DO, LITERAL_IF, LITERAL_ELSE, LITERAL_FOR, STATIC_INIT, LITERAL_SWITCH. LITERAL_SYNCHRONIZED.

An example of how to configure the check is:

 <module name="EmptyBlock"/>
 

An example of how to configure the check for the BlockOption.TEXT policy and only try blocks is:

 <module name="EmptyBlock">
    <property name="tokens" value="LITERAL_TRY"/>
    <property name="option" value="text"/>
 </module>
