Code Review - release notes

1.0 Limitations

1.1 User-defined rules creation: cannot include explanations and examples

When you create user-defined rules using the rule templates, you cannot include explanations and examples. This capability is not supported for this release.

1.2 Using default encoding on the same project in different localized versions of Eclipse might result in projects and/or files not being properly loaded or compiled

Using default encoding on the same project in different localized versions of Eclipse might result in projects or files not being properly loaded or compiled.

The best practice is to set the encoding on the project and to share the project in a team repository using the team functions in Eclipse. Otherwise, the encoding should be explicitly set to be the same as that which was used when the project was originally created.

2.0 Known problems

2.1 When using Code Review with the following languages: Simplified, Traditional Chinese, Korean, or Japanese, to correctly display the charts content provided in the HTML reports, you must change the font settings in Code Review preferences

To change font settings: Before the report is generated:

1. With the Code Review view open, click Window > Preferences.The Java Preferences - Code Review page opens.
2. In the left pane, expand Code Reviews and click Report Styles.
3. For each of the styles, select a font which is compliant with the language that is used. The preview function will help you determine which font is appropriate.

Once this is done, generate your report.

Note: This preference change is persistent.
