It should be possible to externally extend the Rulebase.
It is possible to do that by implementing the org.netbeans.modules.audit.rules.Rule interface and adding a the implementation to NetBeans via e. g. <file name="org.yourorg.yourRule.instance"> <attr name="instanceClass" stringvalue="org.yourorg.yourRule"/> </file> in the <filesystem> <folder name="Services"> <folder name="Hidden"> section of the mf-layer.
