[SebbASF (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

SebbASF created an issue   Mojo's Animal Sniffer / MANIMALSNIFFER-52 Error message does not identify where API violation is found Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 1.13 Assignee: Stephen Connolly Created: 08/Jan/15 6:51 PM Priority: Major Reporter: SebbASF Tried a test with new IOException(new Exception()) which is Java 1.6. Comparison with java15 does cause an error to be detected, but the error message is not very helpful. It only shows the method call, not the location. For example: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:animal-sniffer-maven-plugin:1.13:check (checkAPIcompat) on project commons-net: Execution checkAPIcompat of goal org.codehaus.mojo:animal-sniffer-maven-plugin:1.13:check failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing org.codehaus.mojo:animal-sniffer-maven-plugin:1.13:check: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.nio.CharBuffer.subSequence(II)Ljava/nio/CharBuffer; [ERROR] ----------------------------------------------------- [ERROR] realm = plugin>org.codehaus.mojo:animal-sniffer-maven-plugin:1.13 [ERROR] strategy = org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.strategy.SelfFirstStrategy [ERROR] urls[0] = file:/Users/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/mojo/animal-sniffer-maven-plugin/1.13/animal-sniffer-maven-plugin-1.13.jar [ERROR] urls[1] = file:/Users/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/mojo/animal-sniffer/1.13/animal-sniffer-1.13.jar [ERROR] urls[2] = file:/Users/.m2/repository/org/ow2/asm/asm-all/4.0/asm-all-4.0.jar [ERROR] urls[3] = file:/Users/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/mojo/java-boot-classpath-detector/1.13/java-boot-classpath-detector-1.13.jar [ERROR] urls[4] = file:/Users/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/reporting/maven-reporting-api/2.0.1/maven-reporting-api-2.0.1.jar [ERROR] urls[5] = file:/Users/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/doxia/doxia-sink-api/1.0-alpha-6/doxia-sink-api-1.0-alpha-6.jar [ERROR] urls[6] = file:/Users/.m2/repository/commons-cli/commons-cli/1.0/commons-cli-1.0.jar [ERROR] urls[7] = file:/Users/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-interactivity-api/1.0-alpha-4/plexus-interactivity-api-1.0-alpha-4.jar [ERROR] urls[8] = file:/Users/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/shared/maven-common-artifact-filters/1.4/maven-common-artifact-filters-1.4.jar [ERROR] urls[9] = file:/Users/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-utils/1.5.6/plexus-utils-1.5.6.jar [ERROR] Number of foreign imports: 1 [ERROR] import: Entry[import from realm ClassRealm[maven.api, parent: null]] [ERROR] Would it not be possible to show the class name(s) in which the errors are found?
