UCDetector

Write your own detector: Get Code

- Import all UCDetector projects using this eclipse project set.

Or:

- Check out

projects org.ucdetector and org.ucdetector.additional from SVN:

svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/ucdetector/code/trunk/org.ucdetector org.ucdetector
svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/ucdetector/code/trunk/org.ucdetector.additional org.ucdetector.additional

Create custom marker

Create your own problem markers! I already provided example code for

• Detect naming conventions for classes, methods or fields and create markers
• Detect class names which are not unique
• Detect no java files
• Find all comments which contain "TODO"

This code is easy to extend. Look at this example:

  protected void handleType(IType type) throws CoreException {
    String className = type.getElementName();
    if (!type.isAnonymous() && !startsWithUpper(className)) {
      markerFactory.createMarker(type,
        "Class name must start with upper case");
    }

To create your own detector plugin:

• Change code of example above found in CheckNameConventionIterator.java
• Create plugin with ant build file: /org.ucdetector/build/build.xml (ant build works only inside Eclipse!)
• Put create plugins in ECLIPSE_HOME/dropins directory
• Restart Eclipse

E-Mail me your detection example!
