040/**
041 * <p>
042 * Checks that classes are designed for extension (subclass creation).
043 * </p>
044 * <p>
045 * Nothing wrong could be with founded classes.
046 * This check makes sense only for library projects (not application projects)
047 * which care of ideal OOP-design to make sure that class works in all cases even misusage.
048 * Even in library projects this check most likely will find classes that are designed for extension
049 * by somebody. User needs to use suppressions extensively to got a benefit from this check,
050 * and keep in suppressions all confirmed/known classes that are deigned for inheritance
051 * intentionally to let the check catch only new classes, and bring this to team/user attention.
052 * </p>
053 *
054 * <p>
055 * ATTENTION: Only user can decide whether a class is designed for extension or not.
056 * The check just shows all classes which are possibly designed for extension.
057 * If smth inappropriate is found please use suppression.
058 * </p>
059 *
060 * <p>
061 * ATTENTION: If the method which can be overridden in a subclass has a javadoc comment
062 * (a good practice is to explain its self-use of overridable methods) the check will not
063 * rise a violation. The violation can also be skipped if the method which can be overridden
064 * in a subclass has one or more annotations that are specified in ignoredAnnotations
065 * option. Note, that by default @Override annotation is not included in the
066 * ignoredAnnotations set as in a subclass the method which has the annotation can also be
067 * overridden in its subclass.
068 * </p>
069 * <p>
070 * Problem is described at "Effective Java, 2nd Edition by Joshua Bloch" book, chapter
071 * "Item 17: Design and document for inheritance or else prohibit it".
072 * </p>
073 * <p>
074 * Some quotes from book:
075 * </p>
076 * <blockquote>The class must document its self-use of overridable methods.
077 * By convention, a method that invokes overridable methods contains a description
078 * of these invocations at the end of its documentation comment. The description
079 * begins with the phrase “This implementation.”
080 * </blockquote>
081 * <blockquote>
082 * The best solution to this problem is to prohibit subclassing in classes that
083 * are not designed and documented to be safely subclassed.
084 * </blockquote>
085 * <blockquote>
086 * If a concrete class does not implement a standard interface, then you may
087 * inconvenience some programmers by prohibiting inheritance. If you feel that you
088 * must allow inheritance from such a class, one reasonable approach is to ensure
089 * that the class never invokes any of its overridable methods and to document this
090 * fact. In other words, eliminate the class’s self-use of overridable methods entirely.
091 * In doing so, you’ll create a class that is reasonably safe to subclass. Overriding a
092 * method will never affect the behavior of any other method.
093 * </blockquote>
094 * <p>
095 * The check finds classes that have overridable methods (public or protected methods
096 * that are non-static, not-final, non-abstract) and have non-empty implementation.
097 * </p>
098 * <p>
099 * Rationale: This library design style protects superclasses against being broken
100 * by subclasses. The downside is that subclasses are limited in their flexibility,
101 * in particular they cannot prevent execution of code in the superclass, but that
102 * also means that subclasses cannot corrupt the state of the superclass by forgetting
103 * to call the superclass's method.
104 * </p>
105 * <p>
106 * More specifically, it enforces a programming style where superclasses provide
107 * empty "hooks" that can be implemented by subclasses.
108 * </p>
109 * <p>
110 * Example of code that cause violation as it is designed for extension:
111 * </p>
112 * <pre>
113 * public abstract class Plant {
114 *   private String roots;
115 *   private String trunk;
116 *
117 *   protected void validate() {
118 *     if (roots == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("No roots!");
119 *     if (trunk == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("No trunk!");
120 *   }
121 *
122 *   public abstract void grow();
123 * }
124 *
125 * public class Tree extends Plant {
126 *   private List leaves;
127 *
128 *   &#64;Overrides
129 *   protected void validate() {
130 *     super.validate();
131 *     if (leaves == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("No leaves!");
132 *   }
133 *
134 *   public void grow() {
135 *     validate();
136 *   }
137 * }
138 * </pre>
139 * <p>
140 * Example of code without violation:
141 * </p>
142 * <pre>
143 * public abstract class Plant {
144 *   private String roots;
145 *   private String trunk;
146 *
147 *   private void validate() {
148 *     if (roots == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("No roots!");
149 *     if (trunk == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("No trunk!");
150 *     validateEx();
151 *   }
