John Allen commented on MPMD-8: ------------------------------- Mike, I know it's closed, that's why I commented it, that and the fact that I didn't want my work to go to waste. But as it's now closed and not being reopened (wouldn't want to mess with your stats) I will rebase, create more patches and assign them to a new JIRA(s) I am interested in promoting consistency in Maven plugin behaviour and configuration, especially across plugins with common functionality/usage scenerios, something that is inherently hard to maintain with multiple contributors. My changes were made to that end. Re the bit you didn't understand:- "Additionally I took the external report generation functionality from the execute mojo and added it to the report mojo. This is useful for integrating the output into other tools (CC, QALab) as perviously stated although i made it optional as the real item of interst is the generated site/pmd.html file." Pmd:execute generates a PMD report (xml/html/csv/etc). I added this functionality to the pmd:pmd Mojo that generates the site report so that I don't need to process my 1800 Java source files twice (the Azureus bit torrent client), once for the site report and again for PMD report for QALabs/cruisecontrol integration. > PMD should generate results in formats other than html > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MPMD-8 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-8 > Project: Maven 2.x Pmd Plugin > Type: Improvement > Reporter: patrick OShea > Assignee: mike perham > Fix For: 2.0-beta-1 > Attachments: PmdPlugin.java, how to call from pom.xml > > > Currently the maven2 pmd plugin only creates html output. > It should be enhanced to allow the output of pmd data in other formats. > Also It should be possible to run PMD on a projects without adding it as a > report. > Linked to MNG-1158 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
