I am trying to looking into a solution that can detect some errors or faults in Java Eclipse development environment. Some of those errors are company specified. I found that Eclipse had certain rules defined in Java compliation in the perference view. But, can you add some interface to let the user to define their own rules for compilation and the condition to enable those rules by certain ways? (Enable or Disable, Warning or Error) I found there was a tool call PMD. The PMD even has a Eclipse plugin, but I think it is doing a lot of duplicate work, which the JDT has already done.
These extra diagnosis are built in the Eclipse compiler. But you could write your own builder tool to diagnose further issues. Typically you would use the DOM AST API so as to get your hands on a resolved AST, and from there you could generate markers. There is no mechanism available to grow the built-in compiler which we wanted to protect against API freezing. The DOM AST delivers somewhat equivalent technology.
Ok to close ?
OK, I will try to build my own. thanks/Lance
