Method Detail

getCheckstyleModules

public static Set<Class<?>> getCheckstyleModules(Collection<String> packages,
                                                 ClassLoader loader)
                                          throws IOException

Gets checkstyle's modules (directly, not recursively) in the given packages.

Parameters:

packages - the collection of package names to use

loader - the class loader used to load Checkstyle package names

Returns:

the set of checkstyle's module classes

Throws:

IOException - if the attempt to read class path resources failed

isCheckstyleModule(Class)

isCheckstyleModule

public static boolean isCheckstyleModule(Class<?> clazz)

Checks whether a class may be considered as a checkstyle module. Checkstyle's modules are non-abstract classes, which are either checkstyle's checks, file sets, filters, file filters, or root module.

Parameters:

clazz - class to check.

Returns:

true if the class may be considered as the checkstyle module.

isValidCheckstyleClass

public static boolean isValidCheckstyleClass(Class<?> clazz)

Checks whether a class extends 'AutomaticBean' and is non-abstract.

Parameters:

clazz - class to check.

Returns:

true if a class may be considered a valid production class.

isCheckstyleCheck

public static boolean isCheckstyleCheck(Class<?> clazz)

Checks whether a class may be considered as the checkstyle check. Checkstyle's checks are classes which implement 'AbstractCheck' interface.

Parameters:

clazz - class to check.

Returns:

true if a class may be considered as the checkstyle check.

isFileSetModule

public static boolean isFileSetModule(Class<?> clazz)

Checks whether a class may be considered as the checkstyle file set. Checkstyle's file sets are classes which implement 'AbstractFileSetCheck' interface.

Parameters:

clazz - class to check.

Returns:

true if a class may be considered as the checkstyle file set.

isFilterModule

public static boolean isFilterModule(Class<?> clazz)

Checks whether a class may be considered as the checkstyle filter. Checkstyle's filters are classes which implement 'Filter' interface.

Parameters:

clazz - class to check.

Returns:

true if a class may be considered as the checkstyle filter.

isFileFilterModule

public static boolean isFileFilterModule(Class<?> clazz)

Checks whether a class may be considered as the checkstyle file filter. Checkstyle's file filters are classes which implement 'BeforeExecutionFileFilter' interface.

Parameters:

clazz - class to check.

Returns:

true if a class may be considered as the checkstyle file filter.

isRootModule

public static boolean isRootModule(Class<?> clazz)

Checks whether a class may be considered as the checkstyle root module. Checkstyle's root modules are classes which implement 'RootModule' interface.

Parameters:

clazz - class to check.

Returns:

true if a class may be considered as the checkstyle root module.
