#142 Exclude rules in ruleset.xml

[Gael Marziou]

When you create a new ruleset.xml file you must list all
the rules you want to include.
Most of the time, I find the default ruleset very useful
and I rather want to specify the rules I want to exclude.
This way, I can benefit from added new rules in new
releases of PMD.

Tom Copeland proposed a syntax that would fit my
needs:

================
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ruleset name="Favorites">
<description>Good stuff</description>

<rule ref="rulesets/braces.xml/">
<exclude name="WhileLoopsMustUseBracesRule"/>
</rule>
</ruleset>
================

Thanks,

Gael

Hi Gael -

OK, this is checked into CVS now.... you can download a jar
file containing this feature here:

Thanks for the suggestion,
