Enum RulePriority

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<RulePriority>

net.sourceforge.pmd.RulePriority

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<RulePriority>

public enum RulePriority
extends Enum<RulePriority>

These are the possible Rule priority values. For backward compatibility, priorities range in value from 1 to 5, with 5 being the lowest priority. This means the ordinal value of the Enum should be avoided in favor of getPriority() and valueOf(int)

Enum Constant Detail

HIGH

public static final RulePriority HIGH

High: Change absolutely required. Behavior is critically broken/buggy

MEDIUM_HIGH

public static final RulePriority MEDIUM_HIGH

Medium to high: Change highly recommended. Behavior is quite likely to be broken/buggy.

MEDIUM

public static final RulePriority MEDIUM

Medium: Change recommended. Behavior is confusing, perhaps buggy, and/or against standards/best practices.

MEDIUM_LOW

public static final RulePriority MEDIUM_LOW

Medium to low: Change optional. Behavior is not likely to be buggy, but more just flies in the face of standards/style/good taste.

LOW

public static final RulePriority LOW

Low: Change highly optional. Nice to have, such as a consistent naming policy for package/class/fields...

Method Detail

values

public static RulePriority[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (RulePriority c : RulePriority.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static RulePriority valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getPriority

public int getPriority()

Get the priority value as a number. This is the value to be used in the externalized form of a priority (e.g. in RuleSet XML).

Returns:

The int value of the priority.

getName

public String getName()

Get the descriptive name of this priority.

Returns:

The descriptive name.

toString

public String toString()

Returns the descriptive name of the priority.

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<RulePriority>

Returns:

descriptive name of the priority

See Also:

getName()

valueOf

public static RulePriority valueOf(int priority)

Get the priority which corresponds to the given number as returned by getPriority(). If the number is an invalid value, then LOW will be returned.

Parameters:

priority - The numeric priority value.

Returns:

The priority.
