Class FieldDeclarationsShouldBeAtStartOfClassRule

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    JavaParserVisitor, ImmutableLanguage, PropertySource, Rule
    public class FieldDeclarationsShouldBeAtStartOfClassRule
extends AbstractJavaRule
    Detects fields that are declared after methods, constructors, etc. It was a XPath rule, but the Java version is much faster. The XPath rule for reference: 
    //ClassOrInterfaceBody/ClassOrInterfaceBodyDeclaration/FieldDeclaration
[not(.//ClassOrInterfaceBodyDeclaration) or $ignoreAnonymousClassDeclarations = 'false']
[../preceding-sibling::ClassOrInterfaceBodyDeclaration
    [  count(ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration) > 0
    or count(ConstructorDeclaration) > 0
    or count(MethodDeclaration) > 0
    or count(AnnotationTypeDeclaration) > 0
    or ($ignoreEnumDeclarations = 'false' and count(EnumDeclaration) > 0)
    ]
