Re: [macker-user] debugging patterns

Yes: use the verbose option in the Macker Ant task:

     <macker verbose="true" ...>

Macker will dump the usage graph, e.g.:

     Macker (verbose mode enabled)
     9 primary classes
     32 total classes
     73 references
     Classes used by net.innig.macker.example.conventions.AlphaTree:
         java.lang.String
         java.util.Set
         java.util.TreeSet
         net.innig.macker.example.conventions.AlphaTree
         net.innig.macker.example.conventions.StringTree
         VOID

It will then dump the parsed tree for each pattern, and show the  
matching classes:

     matching (include net.innig.macker.rule.filter.PrimaryFilter 
$1@d71e34 + (include net.innig.macker.rule.filter.InterfaceFilter 
$1@9652dd + net.innig.macker.rule.filter.AccessFilter$1@ffeaea))
         net.innig.macker.example.conventions.BrokenApi
         net.innig.macker.example.conventions.Tree

It's a lot of junk to wade through, but it may be of use. I suggest  
piping ant to a file when you do this.

Cheers,

Paul
