Selecting a code review

A code review is a selection of categories and rules that focus on an aspect of software quality (such as globalization) or a software property (such as severity). When you review a code base, you can select a supplied code review to run on your code base.

To select a code review:

1. Click Window > Show View > Other, expand Java, select Code Review, and click OK. The Code Review view opens.

2. Click Window > Preferences. The Preferences window opens, showing the Code Review page.

3. In the left pane, expand Java, then select Code Review.

4. In the Select Code Review list, click the code review.

5. Click OK.

The code review does not run until you define the scope of your analysis (file, project, or workspace).
