| Method bodies should generally not call |
| `java.util.regex.Pattern#compile(String)` with constant arguments. Instead, |
| define a constant to store that Pattern. This can avoid recompilation of the |
| regex every time the method is invoked. |
| |
| That is, prefer this: |
| |
| ```java |
| private static final Pattern REGEX_PATTERN = Pattern.compile("a+"); |
| |
| public static boolean doSomething(String input) { |
| Matcher matcher = REGEX_PATTERN.matcher(input); |
| if (matcher.matches()) { |
| ... |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| to this: |
| |
| ```java |
| public static boolean doSomething(String input) { |
| Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile("a+").matcher(input); |
| if (matcher.matches()) { |
| ... |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
