-----------------------------------------------
Summary: Turn warnings into errors instead of failOnWarning
Key: MDEP-602
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-602
Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: analyze
Affects Versions: 3.0.2
Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
Currently, the dependency:analyze goal supports a parameter called
failOnWarning which - when enabled - causes warnings to fail the build.
This is confusing, especially for new developers on a team who are often unable
to locate the dependency problems causing the build to fail in the logs because
they only look for "error" level messages.
To avoid such problems, I would suggest deprecating the failOnWarning
parameter, and instead introduce a new parameter such as
treatDependencyProblemsAs which could take as a default level "warning" and
which users could alternatively set to "error".
I am setting this as a "major improvement" because in my experience, it causes
significant confusion over and over again.
