Hello! I've been using the maven-checkstyle-plugin for many years now. Almost all of my projects are heavily multi-module, and I have a fairly traditional setup where a checkstyle plugin execution is defined in my organization-wide POM, and inherited by all modules in all projects. I run checkstyle in the process-sources phase and refuse to build code if there are style errors:
https://github.com/io7m/primogenitor/blob/develop/pom.xml#L503 This works well enough in the sense that I don't have to repeat any configuration information, and I can opt-out of checking on a per-module basis if necessary by setting checkstyle.skip in the module's properties. Where it _doesn't_ work well enough is that I really want to, for a given project, get all style errors in all modules before anything else in the build proceeds. I have projects where style checks succeed in module A, and then module B takes a minute or so to build, and then a style check fails in module C. I'd prefer to style check modules A, B, and C ahead of time so that I don't have to sit through a time-consuming build of B just to have C fail. There doesn't seem to be a nice way to configure this. Ideally I would want checkstyle to check all sources matching a given pattern ("*/src/main/java/**.java", probably). Even if I _could_ get the plugin to do this, it's not clear how I would preserve the ability to opt-out of checking on a per-module basis. I'm aware of the source-level comments like // CHECKSTYLE:OFF and so on, but I prefer to put this kind of thing in the POM. Anyone got any ideas? -- Mark Raynsford | https://www.io7m.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
