Looking forward to this. . . great work.

Would really appreciate a command-line version that could be run (eg as part of a continuous integration build) outside of an IDE . . . in fact I could probably jump in and write required ant tasks if you need a hand?

sure, only problem is that i can not add tooltips to the markers i place for fdt .. or i could do that, but in that case the eclipse plugin would work only with eclipse.

Marc, you are absolutely right. I changed already most of the errors to warnings — although unreachable code will stay marked as an error by default.

The best idea is to have preferences for violation levels of course. In Eclipse also per project. We will see how that works out.

This looks amazingly useful and I’ll look forward to trying it out when you release it. One point I think you might consider, though, is how you classify Errors vs. Warnings and Infos. In the example you post, you list an overburdened constructor, clumsy math and unreachable code as errors. I submit that none of those should be classed as an error, ie, they don’t stop your code from functioning. This is important because during rapid development you might be less concerned with clean, efficient code and more with simply trying to identify where your code is breaking. (One could of course simply turn AS3V off, I suppose). As it stands, this tool might obfuscate “true” errors.

Yes, an ANT task is important as well. Also using AS3V as an SVN hook is a possibility. Then you could get a warning by e-mail that your code does not match the conventions.

joa: it would be pretty awesome if you’d be able to include the XPath expressions. I was thinking how AS3V could be used to check coding and syntax conventions for a particular project or team. If it could subsequently be made part of an automated build system then this would be really useful. The system could warn individual coders that they’re not following the conventions properly that are set for the current project.
Especially in big projects with multiple developers this could prove to be very useful.
Anyways, still looking forward to your results :)
