-------------------------------------
Quick hack solution ;-) I will try to check this in 2022-02.
> API change: let canGenerateReport() throw an Exception
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-7393
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7393
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Benjamin Marwell
> Priority: Major
>
> Hi everyone,
> the `{{{}AbstractReportMojo{}}}` declares a method
> `{{{}canGenerateReport(){}}}`.
> However, it is unable to throw any exceptions. Not even {{MojoExecutionEx}}
> or {{{}MavenReportEx{}}}, which is most unfortunate.
> It is being used twice:
> Once in {{execute() throws MojoExEx}}
> and in
> {{generate() throws MavenReportEx}} (and is called by execute()).
> This way, there is no way for reporting plugins to scan for files, because
> {{FileUtils::getFiles}} DOES throw a {{{}IOException{}}}, which then cannot
> be wrapped. However, the {{IOException}} from that method is useless anyway,
> because it is never declared in any methods it calls.
> Therefore please consider:
> * Declaring any Exception on `{{{}canGenerateReports(){}}}`
> * Removing the declared {{IOException}} in PlexusUtils ([PR
> exists|https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-utils/issues/180]) and
> Maven-Utils (issue: tbd).
> Thanks!
