  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ChecksumAware

    public class RuleSet
    extends Object
    implements ChecksumAware

      • forSingleRule

        public static RuleSet forSingleRule​(Rule rule)
        Creates a new ruleset containing a single rule. The ruleset will have default description, name, and null file name.
        Parameters:
        rule - The rule being created
        Returns:
        The newly created RuleSet
      • create

        public static RuleSet create​(String name,
                                     String description,
                                     String fileName,
                                     Collection<Pattern> excludePatterns,
                                     Collection<Pattern> includePatterns,
                                     Iterable<? extends Rule> rules)
        Creates a new ruleset with the given metadata such as name, description, fileName, exclude/include patterns are used. The rules are taken from the given collection.

        Note: The rule instances are shared between the collection and the new ruleset (copy-by-reference). This might lead to concurrency issues, if the rules of the collection are also referenced by other rulesets and used in different threads.

        Parameters:
        name - the name of the ruleset
        description - the description
        fileName - the filename
        excludePatterns - list of exclude patterns
        includePatterns - list of include patterns, that override the exclude patterns
        rules - the collection with the rules to add to the new ruleset
        Returns:
        the new ruleset
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - If any parameter is null, or the collections contain null elements
      • copy

        public static RuleSet copy​(RuleSet original)
        Creates a copy of the given ruleset. All properties like name, description, fileName and exclude/include patterns are copied.

        Note: The rule instances are shared between the original and the new ruleset (copy-by-reference). This might lead to concurrency issues, if the original ruleset and the new ruleset are used in different threads.

        Parameters:
        original - the original rule set to copy from
        Returns:
        the copy
      • size

        public int size()

      • getRules

        public Collection<Rule> getRules()
        Returns the actual Collection of rules in this ruleset
        Returns:
        a Collection with the rules. All objects are of type Rule
      • getRuleByName

        public Rule getRuleByName​(String ruleName)
        Returns the first Rule found with the given name (case-sensitive). Note: Since we support multiple languages, rule names are not expected to be unique within any specific ruleset.
        Parameters:
        ruleName - the exact name of the rule to find
        Returns:
        the rule or null if not found
      • applies

        public boolean applies​(File file)
        Check if a given source file should be checked by rules in this RuleSet. A file should not be checked if there is an exclude pattern which matches the file, unless there is an include pattern which also matches the file. In other words, include patterns override exclude patterns.
        Parameters:
        file - the source file to check
        Returns:
        true if the file should be checked, false otherwise

        Executes the rules in this ruleset against each of the given nodes.
        Parameters:

        Deprecated.
        This is internal API, removed in PMD 7. You should not use a ruleset directly.
        Does the given Rule apply to the given LanguageVersion? If so, the Language must be the same and be between the minimum and maximums versions on the Rule.
        Parameters:
        rule - The rule.
        languageVersion - The language version.
        Returns:
