        <p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>At yesterday's developer meeting we discussed the way we want to use Checkstyle.  One point that seemed to have general but not universal agreement was that we wanted rules to be strict yet overrideable in the source for specific cases.  The complexity metric was one example given: this is a good rule in general, but there are cases where slavishly decomposing a complex method to meet the threshold (however chosen) actually makes things harder to read.</p>

<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>Checkstyle supports this possibility:</p>

<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4023185/how-to-disable-a-particular-checkstyle-rule-for-a-particular-line-of-code" class="external-link">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4023185/how-to-disable-a-particular-checkstyle-rule-for-a-particular-line-of-code</a></p>

<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'><a href="http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config.html" class="external-link">http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config.html</a></p>

<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>Daniel has been using the following addition to the checkstyle configuration:</p>

<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="code-java">
&lt;module name=<span class="code-quote">"SuppressionCommentFilter"</span>&gt;
    &lt;property name=<span class="code-quote">"offCommentFormat"</span> value=<span class="code-quote">"CheckStyle\:([\w\|]+) OFF"</span>/&gt;
    &lt;property name=<span class="code-quote">"onCommentFormat"</span> value=<span class="code-quote">"CheckStyle\:([\w\|]+) ON"</span>/&gt;
    &lt;property name=<span class="code-quote">"checkFormat"</span> value=<span class="code-quote">"$1"</span>/&gt;
&lt;/module&gt;
</pre>
</div></div>

<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>We should investigate whether this can be made to work for us (people have previously tried and not been able to make it work), then decide whether we want to add it to the parent projects (which is where the referenced checkstyle.xml files live)</p>
