Rule Definition
Using 'java.System.exit()' is prohibited since it goes against the Exception error handling model.

Remediation
Don't use 'java.System.exit()', 'Runtime.getRuntime().exit(0)' and 'Runtime.getRuntime().halt(0)' to know what happened when you exit your program

Violation Code Sample

sample #1  public class KO_UseExit {     {         if (System.currentTimeMillis() >500000)             System.exit(0);     }          public KO_UseExit()     {         System.exit(0);     }          public void ko_go()     {         System.exit(0);     } }  ------------------------------------------------- sample # 2  public class KO_UseExit {     {         if (System.currentTimeMillis() >500000)            Runtime.getRuntime().exit(0);     }          public KO_UseExit()     {        Runtime.getRuntime().exit(0);     }          public void ko_go()     {      Runtime.getRuntime().exit(0);     } }   --------------------------------------------------------  sample # 3  public class KO_UseExit {     {         if (System.currentTimeMillis() >500000)           Runtime.getRuntime().halt(0)          public KO_UseExit()     {        Runtime.getRuntime().halt(0)     }          public void ko_go()     {      Runtime.getRuntime().halt(0)     } }

Fixed Code Sample

public class ok_UseExit {     {         if (System.currentTimeMillis() >500000)            return;      }          public OK_UseExit()     {         return;     }          public void ok_go()     {          return;     } }
