Method Detail

getId

public String getId()

Description copied from class: Rule

match

public final RuleMatch[] match(AnalyzedSentence sentence)

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 than 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).

Specified by:

match in class Rule

Parameters:

sentence - a pre-analyzed sentence

Returns:

an array of RuleMatch objects

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from class: Rule

If a rule keeps its state over more than the check of one sentence, this must be implemented so the internal state is reset. It will be called before a new text is going to be checked.

Specified by:
