Method Details

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

setMinProbability

@Experimental
public void setMinProbability(double minProbability)

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 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

Throws:

IOException

acceptMatch

protected boolean acceptMatch(RuleMatch match,
 Probability p,
 AnalyzedSentence sentence)

Overwrite this method to discard matches by returning false.

Since:
