ShortenedYearRangeChecker

- org.languagetool.rules.patterns.RuleFilter
- - org.languagetool.rules.ShortenedYearRangeChecker

```
public class ShortenedYearRangeChecker
extends RuleFilter
```
Checks whether a shortened year range (such as '1998-92') is valid, i.e., that the starting date happens before the end date. The check is trivial: simply check whether the first integer number is smaller than the second, so this can be implemented for any language. The parameters used in the XML file are called 'x' and 'y'.

    null if this rule match should be removed, or any other RuleMatch (e.g. the one from the arguments) that properly describes the detected error
