Configure Sonar to ignore single-line if-statements

Question

Is there a way to configure Sonar to ignore single-line if-statements like

if (value == true) return;

while marking multi-line if-statements witout braces such as

if (value == true)
    return;

as violations?

Answer 1

There is no rule that matches your needs but you can write your own rule with XPath. You can find a tutorial here
