These topics provide information about views, windows, and wizards
that are used in code review.
Code Review view
Use the Code Review view to choose
what code to review and then to examine the findings produced by the code
review. In this view, you can filter, sort, and search.
Code Review Details view
The Code Review Details view provides resource
and troubleshooting information about the selected finding.
Progress view
The Progress view shows status information for background and processing tasks for deep rules in the J2EE Best Practices code review. Deep rules not only produce findings, but also show the paths that lead to the findings. These rules require data flow analysis, the method that traces the paths to a finding. Consequently, this review can take longer than other code reviews. The Progress view indicates the task that is being performed and its progress.
Java preferences - Code Review page
Use the Java™ preferences Code Review
page in the Preferences window to select which code review to run. On this
page, you also configure the rule set by disabling rules you do not want applied
in the review and modifying rule properties.
Filters window
Use the Filters window to clear
the status or severity level of findings so that you do not see findings with
those properties.
New Code Review Rule wizard
The New Code Review Rule wizard provides templates
so you can create rules that are specific to your application, and then incorporate
these custom rules into the code review.
Export Code Review configuration window
Use the Export Code Review configuration window
to export a customized rule configuration to a zipped file. Other team members
can import the configuration so that everyone can run consistent code reviews
that apply exactly the same rules and settings.
