public class DemoRule
extends Rule

A simple demo rule as an example for how to implement your own Java-based rule in LanguageTool. Simple walks over the text and prints the words and their analysis.

To activate this rule, add it to getRelevantRules() in e.g. English.java.

This rule works on sentences, extend TextLevelRule instead to work on the complete text.
