code-style NonStaticInitializer (PMD)

Non-static initializers are confusing

A nonstatic initializer block will be called any time a constructor is invoked (just prior to invoking the constructor). While this is a valid language construct, it is rarely used and is confusing.

   
public class MyClass {
 // this block gets run before any call to a constructor
 {
  System.out.println("I am about to construct myself");
 }
}
