The code review application is invoked from the Linux or Windows command line. Its capabilities are similar to those of the code review process that is launched from the user interface of the product workbench. It supports the same language-specific standard rules for COBOL and PL/I, the same types of custom rules and categories for COBOL and PL/I, and the same types of user-written custom rules for COBOL. It uses the same rule severities and has the same concepts of scope.
The code review component of Developer for System z® does not explicitly support Java™ source code files and does not document support for Java. However, the code review application (like the code review analysis configuration editor) does recognize and process Java code review rules and Java source code files to some degree. If a rule file includes Java code review rules, and Java source code files are included in the scope, then the code review application includes the Java results in its output information and in its output data files.
