Java Path checker creation process

The steps involved in creating a Java Path checker are:

1. Run kwcreatechecker to create the files for your checker.
2. Important:Describe the problematic paths in the knowledge base.
3. Optional: Add a title and error message for your checker.
4. Optional: Create context-sensitive help for your checker.
5. Run Ant to pack the checker files into a JAR file.
6. Test the checker.
   Kwjava is used only for the purposes of custom checker development and testing because it provides detailed DEBUG information. Post-deployment, kwcheck or one of the Klocwork IDE plug-ins is used for analysis, not kwjava.
7. Edit the knowledge base (or other files) and re-test until you determine that the checker is ready for deployment.
