Trailing Comment Check false positives

Original investigation of Daniil Yroslavtsev:

Check: http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_misc.html#TrailingComment
It has so much problem to report valid code so I do believe that it is switched off  in all companies configurations.

Other support for that Check: Trailing Comments .

But currently Trailing Comment check warns on the following valid cases:

1.

  A. 
  } catch (Exception e) { // SUPPRESS CHECKSTYLE IllegalCatchExtendedCheck now it part of logic

  B.
  } catch (Exception e) { // NOPMD

  C.
  } catch (Exception e) { // NOSONAR

2.

double emerging = 100 - regions.sumEstimate(
  "54138", // Not Applicable/Disclosed
  "19668", // United States
  "200005", // Canada
...
);

ATTENTION: it is not false-positive, as all this magic numbers

 should be moved to constants with proper names

ReportValidationResult r = validationResult.get(i);
  sb.append(
    MessageFormat.format("  report_id={0} (co_id={1}), report_start$=''{2}'', report_end$=''{3}''"
     + ", period_start_date={4}, period_end_date={5}: "
     + "total percent on ''{6}'' is {7}% .... ",
     safeToPlainString(r.reportId), // 0
     safeToPlainString(r.companyId), // 1
     formatTimestamp(r.reportStartDate), // 2
     ...
     formatTimestamp(r.periodEndDate), // 7
     ...
     )

  private static final Color[] COLORS = {             
            new Color(255, 128, 128), // pink
            new Color(255, 255, 128), // yellow             
            new Color(128, 255, 128), // green             
            new Color(128, 255, 255), // cian             
            new Color(255, 128, 192), // margent                      
            new Color(255, 128, 64), // brown
            new Color(0, 128, 128), // blue/gray
            new Color(128, 128, 255), // purple
            new Color(0, 128, 0), // dark green             
            new Color(128, 128, 0), // greenish/grayish     };

    record[++columnIndex] = geoAreaEntry.getKey(); // _NAME
    record[++columnIndex] = "unknown"; // _REGION
    record[++columnIndex] = "0"; // _WEIGHT
    record[++columnIndex] = "1"; // _CONF

To fix false-positives we can update Trailing Commentary Sonar check to ignore: //NOSONAR, //SUPPRESS CHECKSTYLE, //NOPMD, // formatter:off, // formatter:on commentaries (with all their possible variants) and other 'valid' comments by regexp in it`s configuration.

But I think, that Checkstyle Trailing Comment check should be disabled for all projects as too many comment formats can be considered as 'valid' and result 'ignore' regexp will be too complex and unreadable.
