Java
Method name same as class name
Warning
New
Last modified: 03 December 2024Reports methods that are named identically to their class. While such naming is allowed by the Java language, by convention it is reserved for defining constructors. Using it for methods is probably a mistake or bad practice.
Example:
class MyClass {
int val;
// Method MyClass named identically to its containing class.
// Likely, 'void' was added by mistake.
void MyClass(int val) {
this.val = val;
}
}
When appropriate, a quick-fix converts the method to a constructor:
class MyClass {
int val;
MyClass(int val) {
this.val = val;
}
}
Another quick-fix renames the method.
- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
