Class CommentUtil

  • @Deprecated
public final class CommentUtil
extends Object
    Deprecated.
    This utility class is deprecated and will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. Its methods have been intended to parse javadoc tags. A more useful solution will be added around the AST node FormalComment, which contains as children JavadocElement nodes, which in turn provide access to the JavadocTag.

public static Map<String,​Integer> javadocTagsIn​(String comment)
        Deprecated.
        This method is deprecated and will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. This method has been intended to parse javadoc tags. A more useful solution will be added around the AST node FormalComment, which contains as children JavadocElement nodes, which in turn provide access to the JavadocTag.
        Finds all the javadoc tags in the (formal) comment. Returns a map from javadoc tag to index position.

        Note: If a tag is used multiple times, the last occurrence is returned.

        Parameters:
        comment - the raw comment
        Returns:
        mapping of javadoc tag to index position

public static List<String> multiLinesIn​(String comment)
        Deprecated.
        This method will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. It has been replaced by Comment.getFilteredComment().
        Removes the leading comment marker (like *) of each line of the comment as well as the start marker (//, /* or /** and the end markers (*/).
        Parameters:
        comment - the raw comment
        Returns:
        List of lines of the comments

      • trim

        @Deprecated
public static List<String> trim​(List<String> lines)
        Deprecated.
        This method will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. It is not needed anymore, since Comment.getFilteredComment() returns already the filtered and trimmed comment text.
        Similar to the String.trim() function, this one removes the leading and trailing empty/blank lines from the line list.
        Parameters:
        lines - the list of lines, which might contain empty lines
        Returns:
        the lines without leading or trailing blank lines.
