Static Code Analysis Tool

The Static Code Analysis Tools is a Maven plugin that executes the Maven plugins for FindBugs, Checkstyle and PMD and generates a merged .html report. It is especially designed for openHAB to respect the defined coding guidelines.

This project contains:

• properties files for the PMD, Checkstyle and FindBugs Maven plugins configuration in the src/main/resources/configuration folder;
• rule sets for the plugins in the src/main/resources/rulesets folder;
• custom rules for PMD, CheckStyle and FindBugs and unit tests for the rules;
• tool that merges the reports from the individual plugins in a summary report.
