30-33: Consider explicitly defining naming patterns.While PMD defaults are generally good, consider adding explicit patterns for fields, methods, and classes if your team has specific conventions to ensure consistency.
Example configuration with explicit patterns:
<rule ref="category/java/codestyle.xml/FieldNamingConventions"> <properties> <property name="publicConstantPattern" value="^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*$"/> <property name="constantPattern" value="^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*$"/> <property name="finalFieldPattern" value="^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$"/> <property name="defaultFieldPattern" value="^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$"/> </properties> </rule>

ruleset.xml (4)
1-8: Well-structured PMD ruleset configuration!The XML header and namespace declarations are correctly formatted for PMD 2.0.0.
9-13: Good selection of essential code quality rules.These rules effectively catch common coding issues like unused fields, improper exception handling, and unnecessary code.
15-20: Standard Java naming convention for local variables.The regex pattern correctly enforces camelCase starting with lowercase. Consider documenting why this specific pattern was chosen if it differs from your team's conventions.
22-28: Reasonable complexity thresholds.The NCSS (Non-Commenting Source Statements) limits of 25 for methods and 500 for classes strike a good balance between maintainability and practicality.

1-24: Note: This appears to be an intentional example of bad code.Given the filename and PR context, this file seems designed to demonstrate PMD rule violations. If this is indeed a test file, consider:
- Moving it to a test resources directory
- Adding a clear comment at the top indicating it's an intentional bad example
- Ensuring it's excluded from production code

Follow Java naming conventions for methods.
Method names should start with a lowercase letter.

In bad.java at line 9, the method name DOStuff does not follow Java naming
conventions which require method names to start with a lowercase letter. Rename
the method from DOStuff to doStuff to comply with the standard Java naming
conventions.

Remove unnecessary constructor.
The default constructor adds no value and can be removed.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In bad.java around lines 5 to 7, the constructor is unnecessary as it does not
add any functionality. Remove the entire constructor method to rely on the
default constructor provided by Java.

Avoid empty catch blocks.
Empty catch blocks silently swallow exceptions, making debugging difficult. At minimum, log the exception.

(Error Prone)
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In bad.java around lines 17 to 19, the catch block is empty and silently ignores
exceptions, which hinders debugging. Modify the catch block to log the caught
exception using an appropriate logging mechanism or print the stack trace to
ensure the error is recorded and can be diagnosed later.

Never return from a finally block.
Returning from a finally block suppresses any exceptions thrown in the try or catch blocks and can lead to unexpected behavior.

(Error Prone)
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In bad.java at line 20, remove the return statement from the finally block
because returning there suppresses exceptions from try or catch blocks. Instead,
restructure the code to avoid returning inside finally, such as moving the
return to the try or catch blocks or using a variable to hold the return value
and returning after the finally block completes.
