Class DemoRule

java.lang.Object

org.languagetool.rules.Rule

org.languagetool.rules.DemoRule

public class DemoRule
extends Rule

A simple demo rule as an example for how to implement your own Java-based rule in LanguageTool. Simple walks over the text and prints the words and their analysis.

To activate this rule, add it to getRelevantRules() in e.g. English.java.

This rule works on sentences, extend TextLevelRule instead to work on the complete text.

Method Detail

getId

public String getId()

Description copied from class: Rule

A string used to identify the rule in e.g. configuration files. This string is supposed to be unique and to stay the same in all upcoming versions of LanguageTool. It's supposed to contain only the characters A-Z and the underscore.

Specified by:

getId in class Rule

public String getDescription()

Description copied from class: Rule

match

public RuleMatch[] match(AnalyzedSentence sentence)
                  throws IOException

Description copied from class: Rule

Check whether the given sentence matches this error rule, i.e. whether it contains the error detected by this rule. Note that the order in which this method is called is not always guaranteed, i.e. the sentence order in the text may be different from the order in which you get the sentences (this may be the case when LanguageTool is used as a LibreOffice/OpenOffice add-on, for example). In other words, implementations must be stateless, so that a previous call to this method has no influence on later calls.

Specified by:

match in class Rule

Parameters:

sentence - a pre-analyzed sentence

Returns:

an array of RuleMatch objects

Throws:

IOException
