Class OneTopLevelClassCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable
    public class OneTopLevelClassCheck
extends AbstractCheck

    Checks that each top-level class, interface or enum resides in a source file of its own. Official description of a 'top-level' term: 7.6. Top Level Type Declarations. If file doesn't contains public class, enum or interface, top-level type is the first type in file.

    An example of check's configuration: 

     <module name="OneTopLevelClass"/>

    ATTENTION: This Check does not support customization of validated tokens, so do not use the "tokens" property.

    An example of code with violations: 

     public class Foo{
   //methods
 }

 class Foo2{
   //methods
 }

    An example of code without public top-level type: 

     class Foo{ // top-level class
   //methods
 }

 class Foo2{
   //methods
 }

    An example of code without violations: 

     public class Foo{
   //methods
 }
