Class PMDConfiguration

net.sourceforge.pmd.PMDConfiguration

public class PMDConfiguration
extends AbstractConfiguration

This class contains the details for the runtime configuration of PMD. There are several aspects to the configuration of PMD.

The aspects related to generic PMD behavior:

• Suppress marker is used in source files to suppress a RuleViolation, defaults to PMD.SUPPRESS_MARKER. getSuppressMarker()
• The number of threads to create when invoking on multiple files, defaults one thread per available processor. getThreads()
• A ClassLoader to use when loading classes during Rule processing (e.g. during type resolution), defaults to ClassLoader of the Configuration class. getClassLoader()
• A means to configure a ClassLoader using a prepended classpath String, instead of directly setting it programmatically. prependClasspath(String)
• A LanguageVersionDiscoverer instance, which defaults to using the default LanguageVersion of each Language. Means are provided to change the LanguageVersion for each Language. getLanguageVersionDiscoverer()

The aspects related to Rules and Source files are:

• A comma separated list of RuleSets URIs. getRuleSets()
• A minimum priority threshold when loading Rules from RuleSets, defaults to RulePriority.LOW. getMinimumPriority()
• The character encoding of source files, defaults to the system default as returned by System.getProperty("file.encoding"). AbstractConfiguration.getSourceEncoding()
• A comma separated list of input paths to process for source files. This may include files, directories, archives (e.g. ZIP files), etc. getInputPaths()

• The renderer format to use for Reports. getReportFormat()
• The file to which the Report should render. getReportFile()
• An indicator of whether to use File short names in Reports, defaults to false. isReportShortNames()
• The initialization properties to use when creating a Renderer instance. getReportProperties()
• An indicator of whether to show suppressed Rule violations in Reports. isShowSuppressedViolations()

The aspects related to special PMD behavior are:

• An indicator of whether PMD should log debug information. AbstractConfiguration.isDebug()
• An indicator of whether PMD should perform stress testing behaviors, such as randomizing the order of file processing. isStressTest()
• An indicator of whether PMD should log benchmarking information. isBenchmark()

Method Detail

getSuppressMarker

public String getSuppressMarker()

Get the suppress marker. This is the source level marker used to indicate a RuleViolation should be suppressed.

Returns:

The suppress marker.

setSuppressMarker

public void setSuppressMarker(String suppressMarker)

Set the suppress marker.

Parameters:

suppressMarker - The suppress marker to use.

getThreads

public int getThreads()

Get the number of threads to use when processing Rules.

Returns:

The number of threads.

setThreads

public void setThreads(int threads)

Set the number of threads to use when processing Rules.

Parameters:

threads - The number of threads.

getClassLoader

public ClassLoader getClassLoader()

Get the ClassLoader being used by PMD when processing Rules.

Returns:

The ClassLoader being used

setClassLoader

public void setClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)

Set the ClassLoader being used by PMD when processing Rules. Setting a value of null will cause the default ClassLoader to be used.

Parameters:

classLoader - The ClassLoader to use

prependClasspath

public void prependClasspath(String classpath)
                      throws IOException

Prepend the specified classpath like string to the current ClassLoader of the configuration. If no ClassLoader is currently configured, the ClassLoader used to load the PMDConfiguration class will be used as the parent ClassLoader of the created ClassLoader.

If the classpath String looks like a URL to a file (i.e. starts with file://) the file will be read with each line representing an entry on the classpath.

Parameters:

classpath - The prepended classpath.

Throws:

IOException - if the given classpath is invalid (e.g. does not exist)

See Also:

setClassLoader(ClassLoader), ClasspathClassLoader
