Class FindBugsMessageFormat

java.lang.Object

edu.umd.cs.findbugs.FindBugsMessageFormat

public class FindBugsMessageFormat
extends java.lang.Object

Format the message for a BugInstance. This class works in much the same way as java.text.MessageFormat; however, each placeholder may have an optional "key" which specifies how the object at that position should be formatted.

Example:

     new FindBugsMessageFormat("BUG: {1} does something bad to field {2.fullField}")
 

In this example, the method annotation at position 1 is formatted using the empty (default) key. The field annotation at position 2 is formatted using the "fullField" key, which uses the long format for the field rather than the usual "class.fieldname" format.
