Hi,

I implemented a check to detect System.out, but the problem is I need to
have this facility in the main() method as suggestions need to be
reported to the operator at the console.

Alternative 1
-------------
I could use System.err but once the developers get wind of this they
will abuse it.

Alternative 2
-------------
I could use suppression filters to ignore these files/lines. This will
become a maintenance nightmare, as the number of files start growing and
line numbers keep changing.

I am looking for a check that will ignore System.out only in the main()
method. I will be interested to know from anyone who has a work around.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Lakshman
