LITERAL_ASSERT. GENERIC_START. GENERIC_END. TYPE_EXTENSION_AND. WILDCARD_TYPE.

An example of how to configure the check is:

 <module name="WhitespaceAround"/>
 

An example of how to configure the check for whitespace only around assignment operators is:

 <module name="WhitespaceAround">
     <property name="tokens"
               value="ASSIGN,DIV_ASSIGN,PLUS_ASSIGN,MINUS_ASSIGN,STAR_ASSIGN,MOD_ASSIGN,SR_ASSIGN,BSR_ASSIGN,SL_ASSIGN,BXOR_ASSIGN,BOR_ASSIGN,BAND_ASSIGN"/>
 </module>
 

In addition, this check can be configured to allow empty method and/or constructor bodies. For example, a method with an empty body might look like:

    public void doSomething(int val) {}

To configure the check to allow empty method blocks use

   <property name="allowEmptyMethods" value="true" />

To configure the check to allow empty constructor blocks use

   <property name="allowEmptyConstructors" value="true" />
