New and noteworthy

New Rules

• The new Java rule {% rule "java/design/AvoidUncheckedExceptionsInSignatures" %} (java-design) finds methods or constructors that declare unchecked exceptions in their throws clause. This forces the caller to handle the exception, even though it is a runtime exception.

• The new Java rule {% rule "java/errorprone/DetachedTestCase" %} (java-errorprone) searches for public methods in test classes, which are not annotated with @Test. These methods might be test cases where the annotation has been forgotten. Because of that those test cases are never executed.

Fixed Issues

• java-design
  • #1692: [java] Add rule to avoid declaration of throwing unchecked exception
