Ant problem using CheckStyle with sun checks

Thread view:

JoshRountree@gmail.com - 07 Feb 2006 18:56 GMT

I'm getting an error when I use generics like this:

ArrayList < Foo > fooArrayList;

fooArrayList = new ArrayList < Foo > ();

Checkstyle complains about there not being a space after the last '>' ,
as well as a space being present before the first '('.

Any idea on which way is the correct style, even better, an updated sun
check?

I would always write it like this:

ArrayList<Foo> fooArrayList;
fooArrayList = new ArrayList<Foo>();

ArrayList<Foo> is one type, so no spaces.
ArrayList<Foo>() is one constructor, so no spaces.
