JLin 

Use

You use JLin to perform predefined static tests on Java sources. The tests are delivered as part of the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. Uses include:

·        Identifying error sources

·        Enforcing code conventions

·        Evaluating metrics and statistics

·        Enforcing architectural patterns

·        Monitoring

Features

You configure your tests under Windows → Preferences → Java → JLin.

All the predefined tests are included in the DEFAULT variant. You create your own editable variants by copying the DEFAULT variant.

For most tests, the results of a JLin test run are displayed in the standard Tasks view. You can also select to export the results to a file, which you can later import and display again in the Tasks view.

Developers can suppress JLin messages for their own code by inserting pseudo-comments in their code – see the individual test descriptions for the relevant pseudo-comments (for example, the Catch Block Test uses the pseudo-comment //$JL-EXC$). By selecting Display suppressed messages only, only these JLin messages will be visible in the Tasks view.

Test Descriptions

Each test has documentation that you can display by selecting the test (in any variant) and choosing Display description from the context menu.
