Class AuditEvent

          com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.api.AuditEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

    public final class AuditEvent

extends EventObject

Raw event for audit.

I'm not very satisfied about the design of this event since there are optional methods that will return null in most of the case. This will need some work to clean it up especially if we want to introduce a more sequential reporting action rather than a packet error reporting. This will allow for example to follow the process quickly in an interface or a servlet (yep, that's cool to run a check via a web interface in a source repository ;-)
