[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Change checkstyle.xml to ignore the length of lines with GWT JSNI calls

Hi devs, Currently our Checkstyle configuration contains this: <module name="LineLength"> <property name="ignorePattern" value="(@version|@see|@link|^import)"/> <property name="max" value="120"/> </module> I propose we add the following pattern to the ignorePattern property: @(\w+\.)+\w+::\w+\( The reason is that "Java identifiers referenced from within JSNI methods can get quite long and cannot be parsed if split across lines." ( http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/makinggwtbetter.html#codestyle ). Here's an example: var editor = @com.xpn.xwiki.wysiwyg.client.editor.WysiwygEditorApi::new(Lorg/xwiki/gwt/dom/client/JavaScriptObject;)(config); editor.@com.xpn.xwiki.wysiwyg.client.editor.WysiwygEditorApi::getSourceText(Lorg/xwiki/gwt/dom/client/JavaScriptObject;Lorg/xwiki/gwt/dom/client/JavaScriptObject;)(onSuccess, onFailure); So without modifying the ignorePattern I'm forced to exclude an entire Java source file from Checkstyle just because some of the JSNI lines are too long. I'm +1 changing the ignorePattern property. Thanks, Marius
