These are new rules for the next release

UnconditionalIfStatement

Do not use "if" statements that are always true or always false.

This rule is defined by the following XPath expression: 


                    
//IfStatement/Expression/ConditionalAndExpression
 /InstanceOfExpression/UnaryExpression
 /PrimaryExpression/PrimaryPrefix/Literal/BooleanLiteral

Here's an example of code that would trigger this rule: 

 
  
public class Foo {
 public void close() {
  if (true) {
       // ...
   }
 }
}
