Class ConsecutiveLiteralAppendsRule

java.lang.Object

net.sourceforge.pmd.AbstractPropertySource

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.AbstractJavaRule

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.strings.ConsecutiveLiteralAppendsRule

All Implemented Interfaces:

JavaParserVisitor, ImmutableLanguage, PropertySource, Rule

public class ConsecutiveLiteralAppendsRule
extends AbstractJavaRule

This rule finds concurrent calls to StringBuffer/Builder.append where String literals are used It would be much better to make these calls using one call to .append

example:

 StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
 buf.append("Hello");
 buf.append(" ").append("World");
 

This would be more eloquently put as:

 StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
 buf.append("Hello World");
 

The rule takes one parameter, threshold, which defines the lower limit of consecutive appends before a violation is created. The default is 1.
