hi,
Thank you Bernd for answering my question. I didn't know about the
dedicated mailing list. However, when I go to
https://maven.apache.org/enforcer/maven-enforcer-plugin/ and see the link
to https://maven.apache.org/enforcer/maven-enforcer-plugin/mail-lists.html
I find that link is broken, so I will ask the question here.
I have introduced the enforcer to the project I am working on and have
found it very useful. However I have just been compelled to abandon it
which I do with great reluctance. Upon the merging in of some pom changes
the enforcer started to change what it had been reporting even though the
changes were innocuous. There were no dependency changes. Furthermore, it
started to not report on convergence errors that it previously did report.
I run the enforcer via a python script that runs the enforcer, capturing
the output into a logfile. It then analyses the logfile to find where the
convergence errors are and reports on those which are not in an exemption
list that the script has. When this started happening in some of our
jenkins jobs I ran the same commands that the jobs uses and I got different
results. I was also able to get a third result that was different to the
other two by running the same command but with specifying my own maven
local repo cache via the -Dmaven.local.repo option. So I was forced to come
to the conclusion that the enforcer is unreliable. I would be interested to
hear what use other developers make of the enforcer and what their
experiences are.
