Manual:Coding conventions/Java/ja

このページでは、MediaWiki コードベースの Java で書かれたファイル内でのコーディング規約を説明します. Java を含むすべてのプログラミング言語に適用される全般的な規約も参照してください.

ビルド
Maven is used as a build tool. All projects should inherit from the discovery-parent-pom. It configures a number of static analysis tools and linters that will help in keeping projects coherent. Code conventions are embodied in the checkstyle configuration used by that pom.xml and will not be repeated here. The README file in that project describes how to use this parent pom.

Java projects hosted on Gerrit should be built by Jenkins by using the -maven-java8-docker template. Other templates are available to publish documentation and to manage the release process.

Java projects should be analyzed by SonarCloud.



Java のバージョン
Most of our projects are at the moment targeting Java 8. We are in the process of transitioning to Java 11.

SDKMAN can help you manage multiple JDK and easily switch between them.

ライブラリ
A number of libraries are commonly used throughout our various Java projects. Using the same libraries for similar use cases can help coherence across projects. That being said, use the list below as suggestions, not as a hard rule.

Guava
Guava is used on a number of projects. Note that in some cases, we have dependencies that themselves rely on outdated Guava versions, which prevents us from using the latest version.The features of Guava that we use the most are:


 * Preconditions
 * Immutable Collections
 * Caches

Lombok
While Lombok is not strictly a library, it provides very useful syntactic sugar to Java. Since Lombok is an annotation processor executed at compile time, Lombok has no runtime dependencies and is thus not creating compatibility issues.

Lombok can be further configured by adding a  file at the package level, which might be particularly useful to make it play nice with Jackson. An example of such configuration:

lombok.equalsAndHashCode.callSuper = call lombok.extern.findbugs.addSuppressFBWarnings = true lombok.addLombokGeneratedAnnotation = true lombok.anyConstructor.addConstructorProperties = true
 * 1) disable SpotBugs, it does not like generated code by lombok
 * 1) useful for jackson that will be able to use the all args constructor when deserializing

A few particularly useful features:


 * @Data: makes it easy to generate DTO / DO, taking care of all this getters / setters and having a proper, valid  and.
 * @SneakyThrows: a better way of dealing with checked exceptions than wrapping them in an unchecked exception.

Depending on your IDE, you might need to install a lombok plugin. See documentation for your specific IDE.

JSR 305
JSR 305 provides annotations to better document expected behaviour and help detect bugs. Those annotations are only compile time dependencies and not required at runtime, they don't generate dependency issues.

In particular:


 * @Nonnull / @Nullable - specifies that a method parameter or return value should be non-null or nullable.
 * @ParametersAreNonnullByDefault - all parameters on this class / package / method are expected to be non null unless otherwise specified.
 * @Immutable: this class is immutable.
 * @ThreadSafe / @NotThreadSafe: this class is or is not thread safe.

JSON / XML
Jackson is used for most JSON and XML parsing / serialization, with the use of annotations.

HTTP client
Apache HttpComponents is used as an HTTP client.

As much as possible a single instance of  should be shared within an application. A custom User-Agent string should be configured.

Unit Testing Framework
We mostly use JUnit as a testing framework. Some projects are using JUnit 4, while others are using JUnit 5. Some projects have dependencies on component specific testing libraries that don't support JUnit 5 yet. For projects that don't have this limitation, JUnit 5 should be preferred.

Mocking
Mockito is used as a mocking framework where needed.

HTTP Mocking
WireMock is used as an HTTP mock server, which allows testing code that relies on HTTP interactions. Note that WireMock makes it easy to also test various faults (delays, timeout, etc...).

Assertions
AssertJ is our main assertion framework. In almost all cases AssertJ should be preferred over plain, JUnit assertions or Hamcrest.

Unit vs Integration Tests
We follow the usual naming conventions to identify unit tests vs integration tests.

Managing and defensive programming
As much as possible,  values should be avoided. Null Objects should be preferred. Parameters should be expected to be non null and not explicitly checked, unless they come from an untrusted caller. Parameters should be marked with  /   to allow static analysis tools to validate nullity.

Context
Serialization and the use of serialVersionUID is complex topic. In short:


 * when a class is serialized, it's  is part of the serialization
 * when a class is deserialized, the serialized  is compared with the target class, if they don't match, deserialization fails
 * can be set manually, otherwise it is auto computed by the serialization runtime, the UID will change if the structure of the class changes, it might be different across different JRE vendors or versions

Leaving the runtime to compute the  can lead to cases where class versions should be compatible but still fail deserialization.

Manually setting the  can lead to cases where class versions should not be compatible but still successfully deserialize, leading to silent problems (when the class structure has changed, but the   has not been updated).

guidelines
should be manually defined only when:


 * classes are expected to be deserialized (not if they just need to extend Serializable)
 * the class or JVM version might change between serialization and deserialization

If manually defined,  should start at   and be incremented on each change to the class structure. The range from  to   is considered non-generated by the FindBugs'   rules
