We are happy to announce that jSparrow February release introduces a new rule and adds 15 jSparrow markers for existing rules.
Remove Unused Fields
This rule finds and removes field declarations that are never used. A dedicated configuration wizard allows users to choose the kind of fields they want to analyze and remove.
If users choose to remove public fields, the following class:
public class UnusedFieldSample {
public String publicUsedField = “”;
public String publicUnusedReassignedField = “”;
private String privateUsedField = “”;
void foo() {
publicUnusedReassignedField = “”;
BlackHole blackHole = new BlackHole();
blackHole.use(publicUsedField)
blackHole.use(
}
}
is transformed to:
public class UnusedFieldSample {
public String publicUsedField = “”;
private String privateUsedField = “”;
void foo() {
BlackHole blackHole = new BlackHole();
blackHole.use(publicUsedField)
blackHole.use(
}
}
More jSparrow Markers
Fifteen new markers for existing rules to jSparrow. Thus, brining the total number of jSparrow markers to 56.
jSparrow provides now a total of 109 automatic refactoring rules.
