Redundant empty class

Reports empty classes and Java files without any defined classes.

A class is empty if it doesn't contain any fields, methods, constructors, or initializers. Empty classes often remain after significant changes or refactorings.

Configure the inspection:

• Use the Ignore if annotated by option to specify special annotations. The inspection will ignore the classes marked with these annotations.

• Use the Ignore class if it is a parametrization of a super type option to ignore classes that parameterize a superclass. For example:

  class MyList extends ArrayList<String> {}

• Use the Ignore subclasses of java.lang.Throwable to ignore classes that extend java.lang.Throwable.

• Use the Comments count as content option to ignore classes that contain comments.
