需要java pmd规则在myeclipse中进行注释

Question

i am trying to write a java pmd rule to check source code comments. The rule should be able to identify all the method and variable declarations. If any method/variable declares without comment, the rule should give a warning as method/variable created without comments. any idea will be appreciated.......!

Answer 1

Unfortunately it's not possible with PMD because XPath expressions are working on the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) and AST does not contain comments. Maybe Checkstyle would be a better candidate for this task.

(You can check this with a PMD plugin in Eclipse. Right click on a class which contains some comments, PMD / Generate Abstract Syntax Tree, then search in the generated ast file for your comments. There is no sign of any of them.)
