Michael Osipov commented on MCOMPILER-572: ------------------------------------------ You are misusing this parameter: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/compile-mojo.html#compilerArgs This is *not* an arg line. > Multi-line <arg> does not work on Windows when forked > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MCOMPILER-572 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-572 > Project: Maven Compiler Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.12.1 > Reporter: Mikkel Kjeldsen > Priority: Major > > Versions of {{maven-compiler-plugin}} that rely on > {{plexus-compiler-2.14.2}}, hereunder {{maven-compiler-plugin-3.12.1}}, > cannot pass multi-line compiler arguments to a forked {{javac}} on Windows in > any way. Further, attempting to do so produces a non-obvious and difficult to > troubleshoot error. This error does not manifest outside of Windows, nor does > it manifest on Windows if the compiler is not forked. > This bug is a downstream version of > https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-compiler/issues/351, filed in > response to https://github.com/google/error-prone/issues/4256. > The sample POM > {code:xml} > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" > xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" > xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 > http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> > <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> > <groupId>example.multi-line-fork-crash</groupId> > <artifactId>minimally-reproducible</artifactId> > <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> > <properties> > <maven.compiler.release>21</maven.compiler.release> > <maven-compiler-plugin.version>3.12.1</maven-compiler-plugin.version> > </properties> > <build> > <plugins> > <plugin> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> > <version>${maven-compiler-plugin.version}</version> > <configuration> > <fork>true</fork> > <compilerArgs> > <arg> > -Xplugin:ErrorProne \ > -Xep:DeadException:WARN</arg> > </compilerArgs> > </configuration> > </plugin> > </plugins> > </build> > </project> > {code} > _should_ fail to compile with the error > {noformat} > plug-in not found: ErrorProne > {noformat} > but instead fails with the error > {noformat} > error: invalid flag: -Xep:DeadException > {noformat} > because {{plexus-compiler}} indiscriminately translates the \ to / and breaks > {{javac}} 's multi-line argument support. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
