Re: [Checkstyle-commits] Help in Writing Checks

Hi Cookie,

this is a fairly complex task. You would have to implement a FileSetCheck
that is similar to the TreeWalker class that is distributed with Checkstyle.
That FileSetCheck (let's call it AspectJWalker) would parse the .aj files
and build a syntax tree, then submodules of AspectJWalker would check for
error conditions in that syntax tree.

This is very simliar to how Checkstyle works for java code, so you can have
a look at the Checkstyle sources for the details. Start with the Checker,
TreeWalker and Check classes.

Probably the most difficult part is finding a grammar for the aspectj
syntax. Let us know how you go.

Cheers,
Lars
