[pmd-devel] Extracting violation details from Listener

[Caleb K. <cal...@en...>]

Hello again,

Here is some code I have for extracting the details of the PMD reports.

RuleContext l_ctx = new RuleContext();
            final AtomicInteger violations = new AtomicInteger(0);
            l_ctx.getReport().addListener(new ThreadSafeReportListener() {
                @Override
                public void ruleViolationAdded(RuleViolation ruleViolation)
{
                    violations.incrementAndGet();
                }

                // here is where you can extract violation info
                // to update bean
                public void ruleViolationDetailExtractor(RuleViolation
ruleViolation) {
                    l_rule = ruleViolation.getRule().getName();
                    l_message = ruleViolation.getDescription();
                    l_beginLine = ruleViolation.getBeginLine();
                    l_endLine = ruleViolation.getEndLine();

                }

                @Override
                public void metricAdded(Metric metric) {
                }
            });

Does anyone know how I use the listener or my ruleViolationDetailExtractor
method outside of this context such that I can populate a bean with the
specified details (l_rule, l_message, etc.)?

Should I return the variables? Put my bean updating in the listener (that
seems very wrong)?

Thank you.
