Class EvidenceMatcher

java.lang.Object

org.owasp.dependencycheck.xml.hints.EvidenceMatcher

public class EvidenceMatcher
extends Object

EvidenceMatcher can match one or more Evidences. By using regular expressions for some fields and allowing omission of Evidence fields it can be used to match more than one occurrence of evidence to enable hints that work for a range of similar false positives/false negatives. The EvidenceMatcher is used for processing Evidences of a project's dependencies in conjunction with the <given> and <remove> clauses of the hints file.
