Hi all, I would like to get some opinions about applying the PMD maven plugin to Sentry, aka the Project Mess Detector:
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/ https://pmd.github.io/ Essentially, PMD is a source code analyzer that checks for some common issues that occur. The maven plugin enforces PMD by throwing a build error if a regression is detected. It can be skipped via a maven profile to avoid having to run it if you are making local changes. Quite a few of the other Apache projects I'm involved in use PMD as part of the build cycle (CXF, WSS4J, Santuario, Kerby, etc.). I've done a small bit of work with it already in Sentry, and would like to get some feedback on whether to proceed with submitting a patch or not. Most of the issues are fairly trivial such as unused imports, variables, empty catch blocks etc. Thoughts? Colm. -- Colm O hEigeartaigh Talend Community Coder http://coders.talend.com
