Goal that runs findbugs without running compile
-----------------------------------------------
Key: MFINDBUGS-124
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MFINDBUGS-124
Project: Maven 2.x FindBugs Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: James Roper
We have a problem with the maven findbugs plugin. We have two modules, an API
module, and an implementation module that implements the API module. We want
to run findbugs on both, as a continuous integration build, such that the build
fails if findbugs fails. But what happens if the API is changed, and the
implementation is dependent on the API? Running findbugs:check on both causes
compilation of the second one to fail. mvn package or mvn install has to be
run on the first one in order for compilation of the second one will pass. The
solution is to run both mvn install and findbugs:check, but findbugs:check
always triggers the compile stage again, this is not necessary if maven has
juts run the install lifecycle. There should be a goal for findbugs such that
compile doesn't get run first. This can be then bound into the lifecycle, and
gives users much greater flexibility.
