Using a Suppressions Filter

   Checkstyle allows the definition of a list of files and their line ranges that should be suppressed
   from reporting any violations (known as a
   {{{http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config.html#Filters}suppressions filter}} ).

   Example: <<<checkstyle-suppressions.xml>>>

+-----+
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE suppressions PUBLIC
     "-//Puppy Crawl//DTD Suppressions 1.0//EN"
     "http://www.puppycrawl.com/dtds/suppressions_1_0.dtd">

<suppressions>
  <suppress checks="JavadocStyleCheck"
             files="GeneratedObject.java"
             lines="50-9999"/>
  <suppress checks="MagicNumberCheck"
             files="LegacyDatasetConvertor.java"
             lines="221,250-295"/>
</suppressions>
+-----+

   Example: <<<pom.xml>>> - Specifies the suppressions filter that Checkstyle should use.
