#381 Single character StringBuffer.append

[Tom Copeland]

Another suggestion from Brian R:

==================
I'd also like to see a rule that flags append() calls
that use single characters as string values:

sb.append("!")

..since appending a character as single character
reults in a more efficient method call:

sb.append('!');

Thanks Brian!

Checked into CVS, and you can download a new pmd-3.4.jar
file here:

that contains this new rule in the 'strings' ruleset.

Thanks Allan!

Yours,

Tom
