public class DiamondOperatorForVariableDefinitionCheck
extends com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.api.AbstractCheck

This Check highlights variable definition statements where diamond operator could be used.
Rationale: using diamond operator (introduced in Java 1.7) leads to shorter code
and better code readability. It is suggested by Oracle that the diamond primarily using
for variable declarations.

E.g. of statements:

Without diamond operator:
Map<String, Map<String, Integer>> someMap = new HashMap<String, Map<String, Integer>>();
With diamond operator:
Map<String, Map<String, Integer>> someMap = new HashMap<>();
