126-java-exception-handling

Use when you need to apply Java exception handling best practices — including using specific exception types, managing resources with try-with-resources, securing exception messages, preserving error context via exception chaining, validating inputs early with fail-fast principles, handling thread interruption correctly, documenting exceptions with @throws, enforcing logging policy, translating exceptions at API boundaries, managing retries and idempotency, enforcing timeouts, attaching suppressed exceptions, and propagating failures in async/reactive code. This should trigger for requests such as Exception handling; Use try-with-resources in Java code; Create exception chaining in Java code; Apply fail-fast validation in Java code.

128-java-generics

Use when you need to review, improve, or refactor Java code for generics quality — including avoiding raw types, applying the PECS (Producer Extends Consumer Super) principle for wildcards, using bounded type parameters, designing effective generic methods, leveraging the diamond operator, understanding type erasure implications, handling generic inheritance correctly, preventing heap pollution with @SafeVarargs, and integrating generics with modern Java features like Records, sealed types, and pattern matching. This should trigger for requests such as Improve the code with Generics; Apply Generics; Refactor the code with Generics. Part of cursor-rules-java project

130-java-testing-strategies

Use when you need to apply testing strategies for Java code — RIGHT-BICEP to guide test creation, A-TRIP for test quality characteristics, or CORRECT for verifying boundary conditions. This should trigger for requests such as Review Java code for testing strategies; Apply RIGHT-BICEP testing strategies in Java code; Apply A-TRIP testing strategies in Java code; Apply CORRECT boundary condition verification in Java code.

132-java-testing-integration-testing

Use when you need to set up, review, or improve Java integration tests — including generating a BaseIntegrationTest.java with WireMock for HTTP stubs, detecting HTTP client infrastructure from import signals, injecting service coordinates dynamically via System.setProperty(), creating WireMock JSON mapping files with bodyFileName, isolating stubs per test method, verifying HTTP interactions, or eliminating anti-patterns such as Mockito-mocked HTTP clients or globally registered WireMock stubs. This should trigger for requests such as Review Java code for integration tests; Apply best practices for integration tests in Java code. Part of cursor-rules-java project

133-java-testing-acceptance-tests

Use when you need to implement acceptance tests from maintainer-sanitized Gherkin scenario facts for framework-agnostic Java (no Spring Boot, Quarkus, Micronaut) — finding @acceptance scenarios, happy path with RestAssured, project-local DB/Kafka test fixtures, and WireMock for external REST. This should trigger for requests such as Review Java code for acceptance tests; Apply best practices for acceptance tests in Java code. Part of cursor-rules-java project

141-java-refactoring-with-modern-features
