{0} is a magic number.

There are more than 1400 occurrences of this issue. Why is this an issue? Since Checkstyle 3.1

Checks that there are no "magic numbers" where a magic number is a numeric literal that is not defined as a constant. By default, -1, 0, 1, and 2 are not considered to be magic numbers.

It is fine to have one constant defining multiple numeric literals within one expression:

static final int SECONDS_PER_DAY = 24 * 60 * 60;
static final double SPECIAL_RATIO = 4.0 / 3.0;
static final double SPECIAL_SUM = 1 + Math.E;
static final double SPECIAL_DIFFERENCE = 4 - Math.PI;
static final Border STANDARD_BORDER = BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(3, 3, 3, 3);
static final Integer ANSWER_TO_THE_ULTIMATE_QUESTION_OF_LIFE = new Integer(42);

Not all numbers will need "fixing", for a decent guide on refactoring taste see: https://refactoring.guru/replace-magic-number-with-symbolic-constant/. This example: https://help.semmle.com/wiki/display/JAVA/Magic+numbers shows the use of public static class constants as opposed to method level constants.
