In my experience, enforcer rules (requireUpperBounds, dependencyConvergence) are deterministic and reliable. Would you be willing to share a minimum reproducible project as a Github repository? I‘m interested in 2 enforcer rule invocations show different results. Regards, Tomo On Sat, Dec 5, 2020 at 13:43 Andrew Marlow wrote: > hi, > > Thank you Bernd for answering my question.

Re: maven enforcer plugin questions
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.

Re: maven enforcer plugin questions
Hello, Yes. this list can be used to reach users of maven, including maven plugins like the enforcer plugin (a official plugin has the name maven-something-plugin and is hosted on the Maven web site like https://maven.apache.org/enforcer/maven-enforcer-plugin/). But even if it where a third party plugin, it is fine to discuss them here with other users.
