Interface Added

A class implements a new interface.

Example

The class LandVehicles in the library project implements the interface Vehicle.

public interface Vehicle {
  String getType();
}

-public abstract class LandVehicle { }
+public abstract class LandVehicle implements Vehicle { }

Broken Uses

Hereafter, we list the broken uses that are currently detected by Maracas.

• 1. Concrete classes extending the affected abstract type

1. Concrete classes extending the affected abstract type

Example

The concrete Car class in a client project extends the LandVehicle abstract class defined in the library. The Car class does not override the getType() method declared within the now-added interface (i.e. Vehicle). Then, a broken use is reported pointing to the class declaration.

// Broken use reported here
public class Car extends LandVehicle { }
