Maybe we can add a rule to checkstyle to reject any external links that don't point to some whitelist of sites like Oracle, Eclipse (EE), and Wikipedia (or whatever). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - https://www.enigmail.net/ iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEMmKgYcQvxMe7tcJcHPApP6U8pFgFAlxH3JIACgkQHPApP6U8 pFjyFxAAiN+oWFf9ma0PQb36k+rKNQozyy5m+qQwP5IiPsZazl2aE4ZJqHBLOK7M xtcuRj3gEwwtK49v5SUdYZZ4u00HooHWUb/atQQ9wUZQcIPt4JiwtTHlEdGBZaHP 4p74eZCfof7xMzhFYzHW/3lVrsh0QA/bYmbKF9kXn5JTZdJl7G4MCVIikzcyW+O1 C53TEks7FLXSqcQzxkEmKxMQepTY5L5XAVChrckgXzSqE+ryjZYSEXIll2K7dGgr HzyKuCwV96nEfTfsPl+/qiryL+ENjrX7uTaSmdXGI4w0R7yi18pBqt4vD4jF9t60 SqaP4mMwDZ3NJ6hsDJAxQQQCioKXovi0eoIXie6Kxhh/da/suZ/8grtYAQ5SL6+S Y+aJacwXofPNlD9rhoHZyzHUrZAOe1KVrth5Ee7nbq7f6aZlWAAx+DJGeTgOCVBu SZYFbRLjPSPuRhLR4GXPYfnQ43yoyWXiQBHarc/XDjam9qplbZQ1Pu1juJkzo0y3 Noe4wCA7FQtGNTcKLGAMusjd41Qkre5EjwJL1o5G78dOdGn1b9XPD1myqvGkdl9J jNv3K0WdDJQ2tN5N/79BMA2Gmr6DnV016jsPcVN6vm9b+CDf3CHHiQLovmjH8ITw AqPGKrEXUhIzbeBnpwFEfatrTyHpJ9k+6hMifaO8iOtwAK9WXRY= =tclS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
