[ANN] Eclipse Checkstyle v3.1 is available for download [message #54835]

Version 3.1 of the Eclipse Checkstyle plug-in is now available for download.

Checkstyle is a development tool written by Oliver Burn to help you ensure
that your Java code adheres to a set of coding standards. Checkstyle does
this by inspecting your Java source code and pointing out items that deviate
from a defined set of coding rules. The full Checkstyle distribution is
included with the plug-in. In addition to using the Eclipse Checkstyle
plug-in you can also use Checkstyle from the command line or as part of an
Ant build.

With the Checkstyle Eclipse plug-in your code is constantly inspected for
problems. Within the Eclipse workbench you are notified of problems via the
task window and source code markers just as you would see with compiler
errors or warnings. The current release of the Eclipse plug-in runs the
tree-walker checks from Checkstyle. These checks only check individual Java
source files. A future release of the plug-in may include Checkstyle checks
that span across multiple files.

To get the plug-in go to the project's SourceForge home page at:
http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net. If you are interested in receiving future
notifications please join the plug-in's 'Announce' mailing list on the
SourceForge site.

Enjoy,

Dave

Can anyone comment on how this compares to the PMD plugin?

Great - but:

*Everything* is off by default.

After turning some things on it gives me *errors* of the form:

Got an exception - java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string:
"FF000000".

This is flagged as being at line 0 - which I presume indicates that the
cause is
some sort of bug in Checkstyle.

An example of a line that causes it:
colour = new Color(0xFF000000 | Integer.parseInt(s_colour, 16));

This is currently a /very/ irritating problem for me. If anyone tracks down
which check is causing it, I'd love to hear about it.

Eclipse suffered from an "internal checkstyle error" and had to
quit.

Now it won't start again - it (repeatably) crashes before writing
anything to its log file :-|

I'll uninstall the plugin. That's the only thing I've changed recently.

That didn't fix things - but rebooting my OS
(on the obscure open file hypothesis) sorted me out.

Phew! - I was not looking forwards to reinstalling Eclipse again, I can
tell you! ;-)

I used a combination of binary division and guesswork to track down the
offending option.

It turned out to be the "Checkstyle > Coding problems > Magic number"
option.

This option doesn't work properly - it's bugged.

It reports errors - and an internal exception - despite being set to report
warnings - and generally does not perform as advertised.

I recommend people avoid selecting this option.

Thanks, Dave

Apparenly it's been fixed in the development version - see:

"[ 748913 ] NumberFormatException in MagicNumberCheck"

I /suspect/ that may have been caused by this problem - or a similar one:

"[ 694111 ] Syntax error crashes Checkstyle"

-
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid =694111&group_id=297
21&atid=397078

Out of memory probems arose at the same time - after a long wait -
and as the comments note:

``letting the parser run until is uses up all the memory in the JVM can
cause other problems, like the whole Eclipse IDE going down''.
