Class PMDConfiguration

java.lang.Object
net.sourceforge.pmd.AbstractConfiguration
net.sourceforge.pmd.PMDConfiguration
public class PMDConfiguration extends AbstractConfiguration
This class contains the details for the runtime configuration of a PMD run. Once configured, use PmdAnalysis.create(PMDConfiguration) in a try-with-resources to execute the analysis (see PmdAnalysis).

Rulesets

  • You can configure paths to the rulesets to use with addRuleSet(String). These can be file paths or classpath resources.
  • Use setMinimumPriority(RulePriority) to control the minimum priority a rule must have to be included. Defaults to the lowest priority, ie all rules are loaded.

  • Method Details

    • 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

    • prependAuxClasspath

      public void prependAuxClasspath(String classpath)
      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.

      You can specify multiple class paths separated by `:` on Unix-systems or `;` under Windows. See File.pathSeparator.

      Parameters:
      classpath - The prepended classpath.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the given classpath is invalid (e.g. does not exist)

    • getRuleSetPaths

      public @NonNull List<@NonNull String> getRuleSetPaths()
      Returns the list of ruleset URIs.

    • setRuleSets

      public void setRuleSets(@NonNull List<@NonNull String> ruleSetPaths)
      Sets the list of ruleset paths to load when starting the analysis.
      Parameters:
      ruleSetPaths - A list of ruleset paths, understandable by RuleSetLoader.loadFromResource(String).
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - If the parameter is null

    • addRuleSet

      public void addRuleSet(@NonNull String rulesetPath)
      Add a new ruleset paths to load when starting the analysis. This list is initially empty.
      Parameters:
      rulesetPath - A ruleset path, understandable by RuleSetLoader.loadFromResource(String).
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - If the parameter is null

    • getMinimumPriority

      public RulePriority getMinimumPriority()
      Get the minimum priority threshold when loading Rules from RuleSets.
      Returns:
      The minimum priority threshold.

      Set the minimum priority threshold when loading Rules from RuleSets.
      Parameters:
      minimumPriority - The minimum priority.

    • createRenderer

      public Renderer createRenderer()
      Create a Renderer instance based upon the configured reporting options. No writer is created.
      Returns:
      renderer

    • createRenderer

      public Renderer createRenderer(boolean withReportWriter)
      Create a Renderer instance based upon the configured reporting options. If withReportWriter then we'll configure it with a writer for the reportFile specified.

      Returns:
      A Renderer instance.

    • isShowSuppressedViolations

      public boolean isShowSuppressedViolations()
      Get whether the report should show suppressed violations.

    • setAnalysisCacheLocation

      public void setAnalysisCacheLocation(String cacheLocation)
      Sets the location of the analysis cache to be used. This will automatically configure and appropriate AnalysisCache implementation. Setting a value of null will cause a Noop AnalysisCache to be used. If incremental analysis was explicitly disabled (isIgnoreIncrementalAnalysis()), then this method is a noop.
      Parameters:
      cacheLocation - The location of the analysis cache to be used. Use null to disable the cache.

    • setIgnoreIncrementalAnalysis

      public void setIgnoreIncrementalAnalysis(boolean noCache)
      Sets whether the user has explicitly disabled incremental analysis or not. If so, incremental analysis is not used, and all suggestions to use it are disabled. The analysis cached location is ignored, even if it's specified.
      Parameters:
      noCache - Whether to ignore incremental analysis or not

    • isIgnoreIncrementalAnalysis

      public boolean isIgnoreIncrementalAnalysis()
      Returns whether incremental analysis was explicitly disabled by the user or not.
