Andreas Sewe commented on MPMD-133: ----------------------------------- OK, figured out that that's what {{pmd:check}}'s {{failurePriority}} parameter is for. (Using it you can configure {{pmd:check}} to fail on only a subset of checks {{pmd:pmd}} performs.) Originally, I was trying to get {{pmd:check}} to run with its own, less strict {{minimumPriority}} value. This was ugly to configure, as the {{pmd:check}}'s execution cannot be told another value for {{minimumPriority}}. Anyway, I think this use case should be documented on the plugin's site: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/examples/violationChecking.html. > Parameters for pmd:check/cpd-check should be separate from pmd:pmd/cpd > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MPMD-133 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-133 > Project: Maven 2.x PMD Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.5 > Environment: Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 18:31:09+0100) > Reporter: Andreas Sewe > Priority: Minor > > Currently, the {{pmd:check}} and {{pmd:cpd-check}} goals do not have, e.g., > their own {{minimumPriority}} parameter; they re-use the parameter values > from {{pmd:pmd}} and {{pmd:cpd}}. This design makes it tricky to configure, > e.g., a {{pmd:check}} execution that fails the build only on severe > violations while at the same time having PMD/CPD reports which also report > less severe violations. > The only (counter-intuitive) way I can think of is configuring the stricter > {{minimumPriority}} in the {{pluginManagement}} and then overriding it with a > laxer value in the {{reportPlugin}}'s configuration. Configuring the > {pmd:check}} execution directly, which is a much more intuitive way to > achieve the same effect, is currently impossible. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
