All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Contextualizable, FileSetCheck

public class UniquePropertiesCheck
extends AbstractFileSetCheck

Detects duplicated keys in properties files.

Rationale: Multiple property keys usually appear after merge or rebase of several branches. While there are no problems in runtime, there can be a confusion due to having different values for the duplicated properties.

• Property fileExtensions - Specify file type extension of the files to check. Type is java.lang.String[]. Default value is .properties.

To configure the check:

 <module name="UniqueProperties"/>
 

Example: in foo.properties file

 key.one=44
 key.two=32 // OK
 key.one=54 // violation
 

To configure the check to scan custom file extensions:

 <module name="UniqueProperties">
  <property name="fileExtensions" value="customProperties"/>
 </module>
 

Example: in foo.customProperties file

 key.one=44
 key.two=32 // OK
 key.one=54 // violation
 

Example: in foo.properties file

 key.one=44
 key.two=32 // OK
 key.one=54 // OK, file is not checked
