<!-- Checkstyle configuration for Vaadin that is based on the the sun coding
    conventions from:
    - the Java Language Specification at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/index.html
    - the Sun Code Conventions at http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/
    - the Javadoc guidelines at http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/writingdoccomments/index.html
    - the JDK Api documentation http://java.sun.com/j2se/docs/api/index.html
    - some best practices Vaadin specific changes:
    - Removed DoubleCheckedLocking because it doesn't work in CheckStyle 5.6
    -> http://www.smartics.eu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=593
    - Modified HiddenField Check to allow field shadowing on Constructor, Setter
    and Abstract Method parameters.
    - Modified StaticVariableName Check format for PUBLIC variables from ^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$
    to ^[A-Z_]*$ . Others (protected, package and private) still have ^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$
    - Modified the severity of the following Checks from error to info:
    • JavadocPackage (checks for package-info.java)
    - Modified the severity of the following Checks from error to warning and the scope from private to protected:
    • JavadocType (class and interface declarations)
    • JavadocMethod (method declarations)
    • JavadocVariable (variable declarations)
    • JavadocStyle (Javadocs are "well formed")
    - Modified the severity of the following Checks from error to warning because not so critical:
    • LineLenght (the default value is 80 which is also used in formatter, but
    i.e. member declarations are not wrapped onto next line)
    • RedundantModifier (i.e. using public in interface method declarations)
    • RedundantThrows (causes unnecessary fails when can't get class information)
    • MethodLength (default maxLength is 150)
    • ParameterNumber (default maxLength is 7)
    • EmptyBlock (if-else statements have some blocks if x -> no action)
    • UpperEll (should use L instead of l with long)
    • TodoComment (not serious)
    • WhitespaceAroundCheck (expects whitespace around some operators)
    NOTE other checks are also warning but should be error.
    - Modified the severity of the following Checks from error to ignore:
    • FinalParameters (method parameters can be modified)
    • VisibilityModifier (i.e. in state classes public members are allowed)
    • DesignForExtension (this design is not used)
    • FileLength (bad design to have files with over 2000 lines? see VScrollTable)
    • MagicNumber (MagicNumbers like error codes are used, but could just ignore
    this in some classes)
    • AvoidInlineConditionals ( you like these ? ignore : error ) -->
