Hi Lars,

Didn't know that this document exists. I'll take a look at it.

Haven't got that far yet. But now that I where to look I'll be able to solve 
the problem.

Hi Guys,

 I tried implementing the sample check provided in writing checks
 article.
 I successfully implemented this check. There are couple of things which
 i
 noticed after doing this.

 1. When i include the option "Include rule names in violation messages",
 the rule name which gets displayed for my check is 'Unknown'. How can i
 change it to the name of my class or any other name which i feel should
 be appropriate for the check i am developing? I tried including a
 comment
 as well as javadoc style comment to my class; but in vain.

 2. How can i make a check part of the pre-defined set provided along
 with
 the plugin. Can this be done only be submitting the check to the
 Checkstyle CVS? Now my check appears in the 'Other' section. I feel it
 would be appropriate if it gets displayed as part of one of the
 pre-defined list. Can this be done by making any modifications to the
 code?

 3. When i open my rule through the preference menu in eclipse, i see my
 rule displayed in 'Other section'. But when i click on the rule, the
 rule-description does not display any description. Wht should i do to
 display the description. I was of the opinion that if i add a javadoc
 comment for my class it would be displayed here in the description area.

 TIA
