ForLoopShouldBeWhileLoop
Some for loops can be simplified to while loops - this makes them more concise.
      
		
		
		    
    			This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:
    			
    			
                    
//ForStatement
 [count(*) &gt; 1]
 [not(ForInit)]
 [not(ForUpdate)]
 [not(Type and Expression and Statement)]
 
            
  
		    
		    
	    
	    
        
        
        Example:
            
                    
  
public class Foo {
 void bar() {
  for (;true;) true; // No Init or Update part, may as well be: while (true)
 }
}
