do not fail build on PMD failures, include them in pmd report
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPMD-33
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-33
Project: Maven 2.x Pmd Plugin
Type: Improvement
Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Doug Douglass
Priority: Minor
Attachments: include-failures.patch
When PMD fails to find or successfuly process a file (e.g., throws NPE during
processFile method) maven-pmd-plugin fails, which fails the site generation and
the build. Instead of trying/having to configure the PMD plugin to either
exclude specific files, or to skip execution altogether (in the case of a
multi-module build), I think it may be better to include the error in the PMD
report, but continue processing files.
Attached is a patch against trunk that modifies the exception handling behavior
to include PMD processing failures in the PMD report. The exceptions are also
logged as WARNINGs.
This patch also updates maven-pmd-plugin to use PMD 3.7.
See http://www.nabble.com/-m2--NPE-with-maven-pmd-plugin-t1718122.html for some
more background on the original problem related to PMD and Jva 5 Generics.
