Uses of Rule in net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.rule

Classes in net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.rule that implement Rule

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
class	AbstractDelegateRule	Deprecated. This is only relevant to RuleReference, but prevents sharing the implementation of AbstractPropertySource.
class	AbstractRule	Basic abstract implementation of all parser-independent methods of the Rule interface.
class	MockRule	This is a Rule implementation which can be used in scenarios where an actual functional Rule is not needed.
class	RuleReference	This class represents a Rule which is a reference to Rule defined in another RuleSet.
class	XPathRule	Rule that tries to match an XPath expression against a DOM view of an AST.
