Globalyzer 5 Java Rules

Introduction
User Interface
The Globalyzer 5 Java Rules allow for class names to be specified as part of the rule. The following UI shows how to configure a new String Method Filter for the smalljava rule set.
- Name: That the name of the rule. It could be something like
SQL Connection prepareStatement - Pattern: That is the pattern which would match the method name. It could be something as simple as
prepareStatement - Class or Variable Type(s): This is a pattern which would match the class name. It could be something like
java.sql.Connection

Example
Code Snippet
import company.util.Dbg; // A fully qualified class name
import company.project.*; // Label is in the company.project package.
[...]
Dbg dbg = Dbg.getInstance();
Label lbl = new Label();
[...]
dbg.setText("{0}: {1} action taken.");
[...]
label.setText("Menu");
This snippet of code does have strings.
The class company.project.Dbg is a debug class and the text method puts the String parameter into a database for support purposes. That string is not visible to the end user. In that instance, the setText method on a variable of type company.project.Dbg should be filtered.
The variable lbl of class company.project.Label represents a text area in the User Interface and the setText method passes a user visible string. The string Menu passed to this setText method should be flagged: It needs to be externalized out of the code into a resource bundle.
