PB.IMO

Make sure the intended method is overridden

Description

This rule checks for possible typos that may have occurred when overriding methods were written.

Example

 package PB;
 
 public class IMO {
     protected void finallize () // typo; should be "finalize"
         throws Throwable
     {
         // important cleanup code
     }
 }

Repair

Fix the typo, or suppress the error message. If the overriding method is spelled incorrectly, it will not be called; the method from the superclass will be called instead.

In the example above, the "important cleanup code" will never be executed.
