#3733 suspicious BACK_TO_XML ruleset in maven, tld edit modes

[Eric Le Lay]

I don't know much about edit modes, so I may be wrong, but the BACK_TO_XML ruleset is declared but not referenced anywhere in the maven and tld edit modes.
Contrary to this, in ant mode, it is referenced, to get back from SQL to XML rules.

So I think the BACK_TO_XML ruleset should be removed in maven & tld modes.
More generally, would it not be interesting to check for unused sections in our edit modes ?
I'm thinking of an XSL transformation to run on the edit modes directory...

[Dale Anson]

You're probably right -- I started with the Ant mode when I wrote those. There very well could be extras that should be removed.

[Eric Le Lay]

OK, I'll work on it...

Here's what I found, checking for either references to rulesets that do not exist or that are never referenced:
mode bcel.xml undefined ref bcel::JAVADOC
mode clips.xml undefined ref clips::LIST
mode html.xml ruleset html::BACK_TO_HTML not referenced anywhere
mode mail.xml ruleset mail::HEADER not referenced anywhere
mode maven.xml ruleset maven::BACK_TO_XML not referenced anywhere
mode objective-c.xml undefined ref objective-c::LEX
mode perl.xml ruleset perl::REGEXP not referenced anywhere
mode perl.xml ruleset perl::SUB_NAME not referenced anywhere
mode powerdynamo.xml undefined ref powerdynamo::powerdynamo_LITERAL
mode powerdynamo.xml undefined ref powerdynamo::powerdynamo_LITERAL
mode powerdynamo.xml undefined ref powerdynamo::powerdynamo_LITERAL
mode powerdynamo.xml undefined ref powerdynamo::powerdynamo_LITERAL
mode powerdynamo.xml undefined ref powerdynamo::powerdynamo_LITERAL
mode powerdynamo.xml undefined ref powerdynamo::powerdynamo_LITERAL
mode powerdynamo.xml undefined ref powerdynamo::powerdynamo_LITERAL
mode powerdynamo.xml undefined ref powerdynamo::powerdynamo_LITERAL
mode ruby.xml ruleset rakefile::doubleQuoteSymbol not referenced anywhere
mode ruby.xml ruleset ruby::doubleQuoteSymbol not referenced anywhere
mode rview.xml undefined ref rview::JAVADOC
mode tld.xml ruleset tld::BACK_TO_XML not referenced anywhere
mode tthtml.xml undefined ref template-toolkit::VARIABLE
mode url.xml undefined ref url::unwritten_AUTHORITY
mode url.xml undefined ref url::unwritten_HOSTNAME
mode vala.xml undefined ref vala::JAVADOC_PARAM
mode vala.xml undefined ref vala::JAVADOC_PARAM
mode vala.xml undefined ref vala::JAVADOC_PARAM
mode yaml.xml ruleset yaml::AFTER_NAME not referenced anywhere
mode yaml.xml undefined ref yaml::INVALID

I'll try to correct them.
