### New and noteworthy
|
|
|
|
#### CPD now supports XML as well
|
|
|
|
Thanks to [Fernando Cosso](https://github.com/xnYi9wRezm) CPD can now find duplicates in XML files as well.
|
|
This is useful to find duplicated sections in XML files.
|
|
|
|
#### New Rules
|
|
|
|
* The new Java Rule {% rule "java/bestpractices/LiteralsFirstInComparisons" %} (`java-bestpractices`)
|
|
find String literals, that are used in comparisons and are not positioned first. Using the String literal
|
|
as the receiver of e.g. `equals` helps to avoid NullPointerExceptions.
|
|
|
|
This rule is replacing the two old rules {% rule "java/bestpractices/PositionLiteralsFirstInComparisons" %}
|
|
and {% rule "java/bestpractices/PositionLiteralsFirstInCaseInsensitiveComparisons" %} and extends the check
|
|
for the methods `compareTo`, `compareToIgnoreCase` and `contentEquals` in addition to `equals` and
|
|
`equalsIgnoreCase`.
|
|
|
|
Note: This rule also replaces the two mentioned rules in Java's quickstart ruleset.
