I'm using the CheckStyle plugin for Eclipse.
It's great at finding things I didn't intend 99% of the time, but the 1% of the time I actually did intend to knowingly violate a rule, I would like to let CheckStyle know it need not concern itself with flagging a warning.
Example: the Missing a Javadoc comment rule. Most of the time I want Javadoc comments on my methods. However, a method such as:
public boolean isValid() {
return valid;
}
can probably get by without one.
Is there anything like the @SuppressWarnings annotation which can be used to flag a specific CheckStyle rule violation as acceptable? Some sort of specially formatted comment, maybe? I don't want to disable the rule, I just want to ignore a specific violation.
(I realize in this case I could just write the Javadoc comment, but in other cases fixing the rule violation isn't so simple).
