Override compulsion

[Anku]

I want to add a compulsion in my source code for overriding certain method if a condition satisfies.

Here is more detail about it:

I have an interface, say Interface1 & a class which extends from another class, say Class1 extends BaseClass(with 2 methods).

Now if Class1 implements Interface1 then I need to add a compulsion for the developer to override the base class methods in Class1.

Is there any build in check available for it or do we need to write custom check for it.

Thanks!

Hi Anku,

There is nothing ready to use for your problem. You need special module/Check for this.

the problem you might run into with Checkstyle is that Checkstyle does not have information about classes that are located in different files (base classes).

So it will be impossible in run time to find all base class methods(probably even without a source file at all, taken from jar).

For more information:

thanks,

Roman Ivanov
