Checkstyle error: Uncommented main method found…

Posted in: fun with code, java.

Just for the record: The checkstyle error Uncommented main method found does NOT mean the main method lacks a javadoc comment, but that the main method is not commented out. Checkstyle regards main methods as useless “debugging” leftovers.

//CHECKSTYLE:OFF and //CHECKSTYLE:ON helped me out. And yes, i think this particular check is really, really, really useless. I think someone using arbitrary main methods in sourcecode for debugging purposes is hardly going to know of checkstyle’s existence anyway…
