  Comment: We want to customize this rule a bit, change the message and raise the priority 
  <rule
   ref="rulesets/basic.xml/EmptyCatchBlock"
   message="Must handle exceptions">
    <priority>2</priority>
  </rule>

  Comment: Now we'll customize a rule's property value
  <rule ref="rulesets/codesize.xml/CyclomaticComplexity">
    <properties>
        <property name="reportLevel" value="5"/>
    </properties>
  </rule>

  Comment: Note we want everything from braces.xml except WhileLoopsMustUseBraces 
  <rule ref="rulesets/braces.xml">
    <exclude name="WhileLoopsMustUseBraces"/>
  </rule>
