  • Tested as working with the latest Eclipse 3.3 RC3

  • Configuration editor support for Checkstyles id property

    When using the SuppressionFilter the id property can be used to distinguish different instances of the same Checkstyle module. The Configuration editor now supports mananging the id property.

  • Support for custom violation messages

    In some cases (e.g. 'Name 'part' must match pattern '^m[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$'.') it is desirable to have a more fitting message presented to developers (e.g. 'Member names must start with a lowercase 'm'').
    The Configuration editor now supports defining a custom message for each Checkstyle module.
    Note that if you have multiple instances of the same module in your configuration and want to have each of these modules different custom messages you are required to use the id property (see above) to distinguish the module instances.

  • Enhanced Violations Chart View

    The Violations Chart View was beefed up a bit by adding a details view to drill down into the violations category.
    Just double-click on a pie slice to drill down.
