ImportControl configuration for multiple packages

[Daniel Stephan]

Hi all,

it seems to me that it is at the moment not possible to use the same import control configuration for multiple subpackages. Correct me, if I'm wrong... What I need to do is this:

<subpackage pkg="de.main">
   <subpackage pkg="*">
      <subpackage pkg="service">
         <allow...>
      </subpackage>
   </subpackage>
</subpackage>

This way, the package control configuration for the service subpackage would match all modules at once, like de.main.mod1.service as well as de.main.mod2.service and so on. If someone creates a mod3 module, then the configuration would still work.

I couldn't get it to work, as wildcards and regex are only valid on allow or disallow elements right now. Is there some other way to do it?

If not, do you think this functionality is easy to add? Should I add a feature request on https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/issues?

Thanks for any help on this, best regards

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

yes, your request do make sense. Please report feature request. If you want to speedup the fix please be welcome with PullRequest.

http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_imports.html#ImportControl

The only correction is that new attribute need to be created for "subpackage" element - "regex"="true/false". That is required to be consistent with design of "allow" element.

New version, need to be create "1_2" .

thanks,

Hi Roman,
I have basically the same request. Has one already been created? If not, should it created against checkstyle on the SF feature request page? https://sourceforge.net/p/checkstyle/feature-requests/ ?
