Sonar-PMD is a plugin that provides coding rules from PMD.

The newest version!


If an abstract class does not provide any method, it may be acting as a simple data container that is not meant to be instantiated. In this case, it is probably better to use a private or protected constructor in order to prevent instantiation than make the class misleadingly abstract.
Example:
public class abstract Example {
  String field;
  int otherField;
}



  This rule is deprecated, use {rule:java:S1694} instead.
