I am completely new with the PMD. I am trying to write some basic rules to get used to it. I have this very basic code:
public class Main {
static void print() {
System.out.println("I am not suppose to be here!");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
print();
}
}
I want to get a warning if print() method is called (so, I need to get in this case).
I know the structure is like that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ruleset name="customRuleSet">
<description>
This is a custom ruleset that focuses on not calling a method
</description>
<rule name="dontCallThisMethod"
language="java"
message="This method is not supposed to be here!"
class="net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.rule.XPathRule">
<description>
This is only for learning purposes. So, this custom rule's
goal is giving warning when a specific method is called while
it is not supposed to be called.
</description>
<priority>3</priority>
<properties>
<property name="xpath">
<value>
<![CDATA[
]]>
</value>
</property>
</properties>
</rule>
</ruleset>
As I understand so far the rule determining part is this:
<![CDATA[
]]>
I did not understand the logic behind it. If you help me I would be very happy. Also if you have suggestions for me to learn it faster like where should I look (I am also not familar with XPath and so on) I will appreciate because I am not doing perfect with the documentation in PMD page I guess... So, thank you!
