In order to avoid False Positives this rule will limit its detection when the only parameter is the "URL", i.e. ``++DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:...")++``
The rule then focuses on empty passwords. Example:
----
DriverManager.getConnection"jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=fred&password="); // empty password, detected
DriverManager.getConnection"jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=fred"); // no password, not detected
----
The reason is that there are many different formats to provide a password in a JDBC connection string and it would create many False Positive to match only some of them.
