You can specify files to exclude from a code review. This provides
a way to exclude files that cannot be audited, or that are not ready to be
reviewed, at the time when the rest of the files in the code base are ready
for review. To exclude files from a code review, you create a resource filter.
Note: To exclude files from being reviewed by
deep J2EE rules, which not only produce findings but also show the paths that
lead to the findings, you must use the Excluded page. The deep rules require
data flow analysis, the method that traces the paths to a finding. They recognize
only the files on the Excluded page. For details, see “Excluding packages
and classes from the Complete code review.”
To create a resource filter for a rule:
- Click , expand Java,
select Code Review, and click OK.
The Code Review view opens.
- Click Window > Preferences. The Preferences
window opens, showing the Code Review page.
- In the left pane, expand Java, then select Code
Review.
- In the Select Code Review list, select Complete
Code Review and then click the rule you want to create a resource
filter for.
- In the series of tabs below the list of rules, click the Resource
Filters tab where you can perform any of the following tasks:
- Click Add to add a file as a filter for a rule.
In the Configure properties window, type the file name in the Resource
Name field or click Browse to select a file from the Select
File list.
- Click Remove to remove the file from the filter
list. In the Confirm remove window click Yes.
- Click Edit to edit the resource name. In the
Configure properties window, type the file name in the Resource
Name field or click Browse to select a
file in the Select File list.
