             Summary: Comment out HideUtilityClassConstructor in checkstyle.xml
                 Key: OFBIZ-12061
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12061
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jacques Le Roux


Currently Checkstyle returns 222 occurrences of the message "Utility classes should not have a public or default constructor."

This is due to https://checkstyle.sourceforge.io/config_design.html#HideUtilityClassConstructor
I don't think we need to follow the "prevents calls from subclass" suggestion  there.

I rather suggest to comment out the related class in checkstyle.xml:
bq. ie <!-- <module name="HideUtilityClassConstructor"/> -->

Then should remain only 280 errors and hopefully most will be easy to fix. At least they will be easier to spot...
