I am supporting external code and I want to extract all constants and magic numbers from the code. Is there any fast way of doing it in Eclipse?
An exact numeric literal is a numeric value without a decimal point, such as 65,– 233, and +12. Using the Java integer syntax, exact numeric literals support numbers in the range of a Java long. An approximate numeric literal is a numeric value in scientific notation, such as 57.,– 85.7, and +2.1.
There are five major literal types in Java: Boolean (boolean), integer (int), character (char), string (string), and floating-point (float and double) literals.
Literals in Java can be classified into six types, as below: Integral Literals. Floating-point Literals. Char Literals.
I've used PMD, an code static analysys tool, that can work as an Eclipse plug-in. It will flag magic numers so you don't have to look for them yourself.
