AbstractClassWithoutAnyMethod


AbstractClassWithoutAnyMethod
If the abstract class does not provides any methods, it may be just a data container that is not to be instantiated. In this case, it's probably
			better to use a private or a protected constructor in order to prevent instantiation than make the class misleadingly abstract.
            
        
		
		
		    
    			This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:
    			
    			
                        
//ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration[
	(@Abstract = 'true')
	and
	(count(//MethodDeclaration) + count(//ConstructorDeclaration) = 0)
]
                    
                
  
		    
		    
	    
	    
        
        
        Example:
            
                    
            
public class abstract Example {
	String field;
	int otherField;
}
