Re: How can the checkstyle plugin be configured to fail the build?

[Guillaume Boucherie]

try something like this.

<build>
 <plugins>
   <plugin>
     <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins<groupId>
     <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
     <executions>
       <execution>
         <goals>
           <goal>check</goal>
         </goals>
       </execution>
     </executions>
   </plugin>
 </plugins>
</build>

by default the check goal is link to verify phase

Hello

I want to make my build fail if there are any checkstyle errors in my
code.  I have added the following to my pom:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
          <failOnViolation>true</failOnViolation>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

When I execute mvn checkstyle:check my build fails when I have a
checkstyle error.

When I execute mvn install the build does not fail.  Reading the plugin
pages I expected my build to fail for the intall goal as well, what else do
I need to add to the POM to make the build fail?

I am running Maven 2.0.5.

Thanks
Andrew
