+Maven since versions 3.9.x and 4.x introduced **Plugin Validation**
+in order to help Maven users and Maven Plugin developers discover issues with
the plugins they
+use or maintain that may break in the future.
-## Internal Plugins Validation issues
+These issues are displayed as WARNING either when plugin goal is executed or
at the end of the build:
+
+```
+[WARNING] Plugin validation issues were detected in x plugin(s)
+```
+
+and split in 2 categories based on what actions should be taken:
+
+## Internal issues
Internal Plugins Validation issues (project local) are issues discovered in
Maven project configuration, like:
- - using deprecated plugins goals
- - using deprecated plugins parameters
- - using read only plugins parameters
+ - project using deprecated plugins goals
([MNG-7457](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7457)),
+ - project using deprecated plugins parameters,
+ - project using read only plugins parameters
([MNG-7464](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7464)).
-In such cases users can fix their project by fixing configuration by editing
their POMs.
-Users should consult actual plugin documentation or try to update plugin to
newer version.
+In such cases, users can fix their project by fixing configuration by editing
their POMs.
+Users should consult actual plugin documentation (and eventually try to update
plugin to newer version).
-## External Plugins Validation issues
+## External issues
External Plugins Validation issues (non-configuration) are issues detected in
plugin itself, like:
- - using old, deprecated Maven Api by plugin
- - declaring dependencies for Maven Core artifacts in wrong scope in plugin
project
+ - plugin using old, deprecated Maven API,
+ - plugin declaring dependencies for Maven Core artifacts in wrong scope
(should be `provided`).
-External Plugins issues can only be fix by plugin authors.
+External Plugins issues require to be fixed by plugin authors first.
-In such cases users can try to update plugin to newer version.
-If the newest version of plugin still has an issue users should report problem
to plugin authors.
+In such cases users can try to update plugin to newer version.
+If the newest version of plugin still has such an issue, users should report
problem to plugin authors.
## Manage Plugin Validation verbosity
-In order to manage Plugin Validation verbosity a property
`maven.plugin.validation` can be used.
+In order to manage Plugin Validation verbosity, a system property
`-Dmaven.plugin.validation=...` can be used on command line (or injected: see
below).
Review Comment:
@hboutemy this still needs to be fixed.

> We have report modes:
> {noformat}
> - NONE, // mute validation completely (validation issue collection still
> happens, it is just not reported!)
> - INLINE, // inline, each "internal" problem one line next to mojo invocation
> - SUMMARY, // at end, list of plugin GAVs along with "internal" issues
> - BRIEF, // synonym to SUMMARY
> - VERBOSE // at end, list of plugin GAVs along with detailed report of ANY
> validation issues
> {noformat}
> *NONE*
> - is ok works as expected, as documented
> *INLINE*
> - is ok works as expected, as documented
> *SUMMARY*, *BRIEF*
> - are the same - *{color:#ff0000}bug{color}*
> - prints *internal* issues in *VERBOSE* mode - *{color:#ff0000}bug{color}*
> *VERBOSE*
> - is ok works as expected, as documented
> So we don't have possibility to report an external issues in brief mode - as
> a list at the end, also - *{color:#ff0000}bug{color}*
> h1. Proposition
> - *SUMMARY* - prints *internal* and *external* issues as list at the end
> - *BRIEF* - prints *internal* issues in *INLINE* and *external* as list at
> the end
> - prepare documentation on Maven site with explanation of common issues and
> what user can do with it
