Hi all guys,
there are classes in [functor] that are affected by the checkstyle
violation as reported in the subject.
That behavior is expected by design, as reported in the comment below
/**
* <p>{@code EachElement} instances should NOT be constructed in
* standard programming. Instead, the methods of the class should be invoked
* statically.</p>
*
* <p>This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean
* instance to operate.</p>
*/
I can not immagine a scenario where classes with static methods only
would require to be instantiated, AFAIK static method should be
invoked only by static reference - even the compiler allows the
invocation from an instance - so my questions is: can you please
provide me an explanation why that should be wished? I'm asking
because I was ready to drop that contructors, but before finding
myself in the position of rolling-back... :P
Follow below the list of affected classes.
Thanks in advance, have a nice day!
