Progress view
The Progress view shows status information for background and processing tasks for deep rules in the J2EE Best Practices code review. Deep rules not only produce findings, but also show the paths that lead to the findings. These rules require data flow analysis, the method that traces the paths to a finding. Consequently, this review can take longer than other code reviews. The Progress view indicates the task that is being performed and its progress.
