Class SuppressionCommentFilter

java.lang.Object

com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.api.AutomaticBean

com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.filters.SuppressionCommentFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Contextualizable, Filter

public class SuppressionCommentFilter
extends AutomaticBean
implements Filter

A filter that uses comments to suppress audit events.

Rationale: Sometimes there are legitimate reasons for violating a check. When this is a matter of the code in question and not personal preference, the best place to override the policy is in the code itself. Semi-structured comments can be associated with the check. This is sometimes superior to a separate suppressions file, which must be kept up-to-date as the source file is edited.

Usage: This check only works in conjunction with the FileContentsHolder module since that module makes the suppression comments in the .java files available sub rosa.
