: Chris, I read your thoughts on custom PMD rules. I think that's a : fantastic idea. I'm not sure if these rules should be PMD rules or : FindBugs rules, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it. : AFAIK, FindBugs is way more popular so I would favor that.
I didn't mean to come off as saying "we should use PMD instead of FindBugs", just sharing some comments about one of the non-obvious advantages of PMD. it's really an "apples vs milk" comparison, they both have nutritional value, but in completely different food groups: PMD analyzes the source code (so it can catch potential bugs from syntax gotchas and enforce rules regarding project conventions) while FindBugs analyzes the bytecode (so it can catch lower level problems, like locks not being released in exception code paths) -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
