I'm reformatting the code generator to conform to the
checkstyle rules introduces, but I have found a few problems. In
particular, it looks like there are some inconsistencies between
what the formatting does and what checkstyle approves. For example,
I have an enum with several entries which is formatted in two
lines, but checkstyle complains that the first line is too
long.
There are other problems as well. I consistently run
into a warning saying that only one return statement is allowed per
method. This feels quite stringent.
Or the requirement that every attribute has a
javadoc.
I was wondering if we could relax some of these
rules.
I see that the the checkstyle rules are in releng/oeprt.oomph/checkstyle. But what if we
wanted to change some of the formatting rules? Would we have to
change every single .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
file?
(I'd like to be able to write each enum entry in a
separate line without checkstyle complaining and without the
autoformat putting them in one line.)
