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

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Description copied from class: Rule

A short description of the error this rule can detect, usually in the language of the text that is checked.

Specified by:

getDescription in class Rule

estimateContextForSureMatch

public int estimateContextForSureMatch()

Description copied from class: Rule

A number that estimates how many words there must be after a match before we can be (relatively) sure the match is valid. This is useful for check-as-you-type, where a match might occur and the word that gets typed next makes the match disappear (something one would obviously like to avoid). Note: this may over-estimate the real context size. Returns -1 when the sentence needs to end to be sure there's a match.

Overrides:

estimateContextForSureMatch in class Rule

getData

protected PreferredWordData getData()

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
