My little nit on PMD got some notice,
...the "deeply nested if statements rule" can now be configured to trigger only after hitting a certain depth:
http://pmd.sourceforge.net/xref/net/sourceforge/pmd /rules/AvoidDeeplyNestedIfStmtsRule.html
It's a bit of a pain to configure, since you have to edit the
rulesets/design.xml file and change the "problemDepth" property, but,
anyhow, it works :-)
Well, it works for stand alone running, but inside of netbeans it is not configurable...
That cell in the table is un-editable, so I cannot change the depth. It's sitting there, taunting me and laughing at me! (OK, maybe not, I should reduce the caffine intake and get some more sleep). It's really funny it tells you what the optuion is but it won't let you chagne it. I've even tried looking for the pmd module configurations and for those rules.xml files but i cannot find them for the life of me. So I just don't care about that rull and throw it out.
However, the ant task looks to be editable (at least according to t
he docs), so it is integratable to a build process easier. I could just create an at task shortcut to run it, and we can keep the rules files in the source control tree, so we get consistent results. |
