All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Contextualizable, FileSetCheck

public class UniquePropertiesCheck
extends AbstractFileSetCheck

Detects duplicated keys in properties files.

Rationale: Multiple property keys usually appear after merge or rebase of several branches. While there are no problems in runtime, there can be a confusion due to having different values for the duplicated properties.

• Property fileExtensions - Specify file type extension of the files to check. Type is java.lang.String[]. Default value is .properties.

To configure the check:

 <module name="UniqueProperties">
   <property name="fileExtensions" value="properties" />
 </module>
 

Parent is com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.Checker

Violation Message Keys:

• properties.duplicate.property
• unable.open.cause
