New and noteworthy

New Rules

  • The new Apex rule AvoidNonExistentAnnotations (apex-errorprone) detects usages non-officially supported annotations. Apex supported non existent annotations for legacy reasons. In the future, use of such non-existent annotations could result in broken Apex code that will not compile. A full list of supported annotations can be found here

Modified Rules

  • The Java rule UnnecessaryModifier (java-codestyle) now detects enum constrcutors with explicit private modifier. The rule now produces better error messages letting you know exactly which modifiers are redundant at each declaration.
