All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Contextualizable

public class RedundantModifierCheck

extends Check

Checks for redundant modifiers in interface definitions.

Rationale: The Java Language Specification strongly discourages the usage of "public" and "abstract" for method declarations in interface definitions as a matter of style.

Variables in interfaces are automatically public, static and final, so these modifiers are redundant as well.

An example of how to configure the check is:

 <module name="RedundantModifier"/>
