Style Guide: OpenJDK Java Style Guidelines v6 (cached page)
Coverage Page: src/site/xdoc/openjdk_style.xml
Config File: src/main/resources/openjdk_checks.xml

Context

The infrastructure for the New OpenJDK Java Style Guide coverage page openjdk_style.xml and embedded config openjdk_checks.xml has been created. We need to add checks for each rule in the style guide and complete all ??? entries in the coverage page - similar to how it is done for Google's Java Style Checkstyle Coverage.

All sections and rules are already listed in the coverage page. Rows marked with ??? need to be completed.

How to contribute

1. Pick a subsection from the tracking list below, comment "I am working on §X.Y - Subsection Name" on this issue, and create a child issue referencing this parent issue.

   • Title format: Add checks for OpenJDK Style [§X.Y - Subsection Name]
   • In the child issue, list all the rules and corresponding checks that will enforce that rule (see example child issue).
   • Add a checklist in the child issue to track progress per rule.

2. Wait for the issue to get approved before starting work to avoid unnecessary iterations on PRs.

3. Make one PR per check/rule. If a subsection has multiple rules, do NOT put them all in one PR. Submit a separate PR for each check so it is easy to review and merge.

4. In each PR clearly mention:

   • Which rule it covers (e.g., "Source files must be encoded in 7-bit ASCII")
   • Which check is being added
   • Reference the child issue

5. Each PR should include:

   • The check added to src/main/resources/openjdk_checks.xml with proper configuration
   • The corresponding ??? row updated in src/site/xdoc/openjdk_style.xml, following the format used in google_style.xml
   • Integration tests following the folder structure below

6. Update your child issue checklist as PRs are raised.

Integration test structure

Tests must follow the same section-based folder structure used by Google style tests. The existing structure is:

src/it/resources/com/openjdk/checkstyle/test/chapter{N}{description}/rule{NNN}{description}/Input*.java
src/it/java/com/openjdk/checkstyle/test/chapter{N}{description}/rule{NNN}{description}/*Test.java

Use src/it/resources/com/google/checkstyle/test/ as the reference for how test input files and test classes are organized by chapter and rule.

Note: For the integration tests, we will not follow modulewise testing. We will follow chapterwise testing like Google style, one test class per section, not per check. The existing OneStatementPerLineTest will also be refactored into the chapterwise format. Please follow the Google style test structure as reference.

Example Child Issue : #19619

Reference

Use google_style.xml and google_checks.xml as the formatting and structure reference.
