Michael commented on MOJO-1187:
-------------------------------
Sorry, I'm afraid I did not understand the question.
I try to make clear what I meant (for multi module builds):
In the module reports, some fancy graphs (e.g. a pie chart for checkstyle) are
generated if generateGraphs=true. Further, in the history section of the
consolidated report, there is a line chart showing how the different reports
(e.g. findbugs) evolve over time.
If generateGraphs is set to false, none of these charts is generated. Instead,
a html table is generated.
In case of checkstyle, this table contains lines with a description (e.g. "Line
is longer than 120 characters") and a rate (e.g. 13% on a small red bar and a
large green one). In the history section of the consolidated report, the line
charts are also replaced by similar tables with one line for each historic
report.
What I would suggest is introduction of a configuration parameter
"skipFancyGraphsForModulesOrSomething". If this parameter is set to true,
a) the html tables are generated in the modules (and in the consolidated report
if m1LikeRendering=false), just as it is the case now if generateGraphs=false
and
b) the line charts are generated in the historic section of the consolidated
report, just as it is the case now if generateGraphs=true.
Introducing an option which only disables the fancy graphs would be an
improvement, as the reports, for instance for findbugs etc., is more clear in
table form. However, the development of bugs in the history (which typically
only shows one value) is easier to catch on in the form of a line chart.
Thanks,
Mike
