You can export the results of a code review to a data file
in XML format. The export process converts the information in the
analysis history into a formatted data file that can be used by other
programs, inside or outside Eclipse.
About this task
The actions of exporting data and of generating reports
are similar:
- They both create formatted output from a result history.
- They both write the formatted output to a file.
The difference is the type of output produced:
- Exporting data generates result information in text files that
can be used as input to other programs.
- Generating reports creates text in XML format. For more information
about generating reports, see Generating and saving reports.
