Method Detail

isCommentNodesRequired

public boolean isCommentNodesRequired()

getDefaultTokens

public abstract int[] getDefaultTokens()

Returns the default token a check is interested in. Only used if the configuration for a check does not define the tokens.

Returns:

the default tokens

See Also:

TokenTypes

getAcceptableTokens

public int[] getAcceptableTokens()

The configurable token set. Used to protect Checks against malicious users who specify an unacceptable token set in the configuration file. The default implementation returns the check's default tokens.

Returns:

the token set this check is designed for.

See Also:

TokenTypes

getRequiredTokens

public int[] getRequiredTokens()

The tokens that this check must be registered for.

Returns:

the token set this must be registered for.

See Also:

setTokens

public final void setTokens(String[] strRep)

Adds a set of tokens the check is interested in.

Parameters:

strRep - the string representation of the tokens interested in

getTokenNames

public final Set<String> getTokenNames()

Returns the tokens registered for the check.

Returns:

the set of token names

setMessages

public final void setMessages(LocalizedMessages messages)

Set the global object used to collect messages.

Parameters:

messages - the messages to log with

init

public void init()
