  • Field Details

    • MSG_JAVADOC_MISSED_HTML_CLOSE

      public static final String MSG_JAVADOC_MISSED_HTML_CLOSE
      Message key of error message. Missed close HTML tag breaks structure of parse tree, so parser stops parsing and generates such error message. This case is special because parser prints error like "no viable alternative at input 'b \n *\n'" and it is not clear that error is about missed close HTML tag.

    • MSG_JAVADOC_WRONG_SINGLETON_TAG

      public static final String MSG_JAVADOC_WRONG_SINGLETON_TAG
      Message key of error message.
      See Also:
    • MSG_JAVADOC_PARSE_RULE_ERROR

      public static final String MSG_JAVADOC_PARSE_RULE_ERROR

    • getDefaultJavadocTokens

      public abstract int[] getDefaultJavadocTokens()
      Returns the default javadoc token types a check is interested in.
      Returns:
      the default javadoc token types
      See Also:
    • visitJavadocToken

      public abstract void visitJavadocToken(DetailNode ast)
      Called to process a Javadoc token.
      Parameters:
      ast - the token to process
    • getAcceptableJavadocTokens

      public int[] getAcceptableJavadocTokens()
      The configurable javadoc token set. Used to protect Checks against malicious users who specify an unacceptable javadoc token set in the configuration file. The default implementation returns the check's default javadoc tokens.
      Returns:
      the javadoc token set this check is designed for.
      See Also:
    • getRequiredJavadocTokens

      public int[] getRequiredJavadocTokens()
      The javadoc tokens that this check must be registered for.
      Returns:
      the javadoc token set this must be registered for.
      See Also:
    • acceptJavadocWithNonTightHtml

      public boolean acceptJavadocWithNonTightHtml()
      This method determines if a check should process javadoc containing non-tight html tags. This method must be overridden in checks extending AbstractJavadocCheck which are not supposed to process javadoc containing non-tight html tags.
      Returns:
      true if the check should or can process javadoc containing non-tight html tags; false otherwise
      See Also:
    • setViolateExecutionOnNonTightHtml

      public final void setViolateExecutionOnNonTightHtml(boolean shouldReportViolation)
      Setter to control when to print violations if the Javadoc being examined by this check violates the tight html rules defined at Tight-HTML Rules.
      Parameters:
      shouldReportViolation - value to which the field shall be set to
    • setJavadocTokens

      public final void setJavadocTokens(String... strRep)
      Adds a set of tokens the check is interested in.
      Parameters:
      strRep - the string representation of the tokens interested in
