Is there a way to configure Maven to ignore source files that present
errors during compilation, and compile everything that is possible
(that is, has no error)?
I've set maven-compiler-plugin's failOnError option to "false", and
the build is considered successful despite the errors. However, no
classes are generated. Our jar file is even created, but it has
nothing except the META-INF directory.
I believe the problem happens because it's a big project (229 source
files as of now). I created a simple project with two sources, and
even without failOnError=true the source with no errors was compiled.
But when I created a lot more sources with errors, nothing was
generated. Apparently after some number of errors Maven gives up and
does not try to compile anything else. Is that assumption correct? I
couldn't find any information on that.
One possible way to solve the problem would be to manually list the
files to be excluded, and remove them from the list as they get fixed.
But this is tedious and error-prone, so I wonder if there is a better
way.
