Blocking Git commit when special tag found in code [message #1750688]

Sometimes I insert logging or instrumentation into the code -- sometimes even artificially throwing exceptions to make sure my code can handle them. This should not go to the shared repository.

Can Eclipse warn or prevent Git commits if there are special tags in the code?

These would not necessarily be TODO tags, but rather something like DEVONLY.

Intellij supports this.

How can this be done in Eclipse?

This is the JDT forum (for questions about the Java tools). It's better to ask on the EGit forum.

Done. Feel free to delete the present ticket, or let me know how.

We might just add the hint that JDT allows users to define arbitrary "task tags", so it's definitely possible to let the compiler create markers for tags like DEVONLY.

If this were to be interfaced with EGit, assigning highest priority to DEVONLY would enable EGit to accept commits mentioning TODO (medium priority), but not DEVONLY - but I don't know about the EGit side of this...

@Stephan, thank you. About this -- EGit to accept commits mentioning TODO (medium priority), but not DEVONLY -- Can you send some docs about how EGit/git accept/reject based on priority?

About this -- compiler create markers for tags like DEVONLY. -- sure, Eclipse/JDT, though not the compiler, can designate DEVONLY as a type of to-do marker, but how does that help us towards the goal?

On the JDT side it is indeed the compiler that detects the configured task tags (and it's the Compiler category where you find the property page for configuring this).

I just mentioned the priorities to indicate that it would be possible for other plug-ins to distinguish between tags that are tolerated and those that are treated specially.

I also mentioned that I don't know about any such functionality in EGit specifically, so I recommend you take my hints into the EGit forum, and then perhaps to an RFE in bugzilla.
