org.sonar.l10n.java.rules.squid.UnusedProtectedMethod.html Maven / Gradle / Ivy
Protected methods that are never used by any classes in the same
project are strongly suspected to be dead code. Dead code means
unnecessary, inoperative code that should be removed. This helps in
maintenance by decreasing the maintained code size, making it easier to
understand the program and preventing bugs from being introduced.
In the following case, unused protected methods are not
considered as dead code by Sonar :
- Protected methods which override a method from a parent class.
- Protected methods of an abstract class.
