 *   Java:

-        Ternary operator with a boolean literal can be simplified with a boolean expression.

+        expression.
 
+    *   Clone: **CloneMethodMustBePublic** (rulesets/java/clone.xml/CloneMethodMustBePublic)<br/>
         The java manual says "By convention,
         classes that implement the `Cloneable` interface should override `Object.clone` (which is protected)
         with a public method."

-
+    *   Clone: **CloneMethodReturnTypeMustMatchClassName** (rulesets/java/clone.xml/CloneMethodReturnTypeMustMatchClassName)<br/>
         If a class implements `Cloneable`
         the return type of the method `clone()` must be the class name.

         In order to avoid mistakes with
         forgotten access modifiers for methods, this rule ensures, that you explicitly mark the usage of the
         default access modifier by placing a comment.

-
+    *   Design: **SingletonClassReturningNewInstance** (rulesets/java/design.xml/SingletonClassReturningNewInstance)<br/>
         Verifies that the method called `getInstance` returns a cached instance and not always a fresh, new instance.

-
+    *   Design: **SingleMethodRule** (rulesets/java/design.xml/SingleMethodSingletonRule)<br/>
         Verifies that there is only one method called
         `getInstance`. If there are more methods that return the singleton, then it can easily happen, that these
         are not the same instances - and thus no singleton.

-
+    *   Unnecessary: **UselessQualifiedThis** (rulesets/java/unnecessary.xml/UselessQualifiedThis)<br/>
         Flags unnecessary qualified usages
         of this, when `this` alone would be unique. E.g. use just `this` instead of `Foo.this`.

         By default, this rule flags now classes,
         that are named "Abstract" but are not abstract. This behavior can be disabled by setting
         the new property `strict` to false.
