When a type variable or a wildcard declares an upper bound that is final
, the parametrization is not generic at all because it accepts
one and only one type at runtime: the one that is final
. Instead of using Generics
, it’s simpler to directly use the
concrete final
class.
Noncompliant Code Example
public static <T extends String> T getMyString() { // Noncompliant; String is a "final" class and so can't be extended
[...]
}
Compliant Solution
public static String getMyString() { // Compliant
[...]
}
