-------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree that it's unexpected that warnings are breaking the build, and I got
questions about this before.
In https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MENFORCER-409, the Maven enforcer
plugin also changes the log level when {{fail}} is set to {{true}}. I created a
PR to do the same in the Maven dependency plugin:
https://github.com/apache/maven-dependency-plugin/pull/219.

> Turn warnings into errors instead of failOnWarning

>
> Key: MDEP-602
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-602
> Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: analyze
> Affects Versions: 3.0.2
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Assignee: Slawomir Jaranowski
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: S2
> Fix For: next-release
>
>
> Currently, the dependency:analyze goal supports a parameter called
> failOnWarning which - when enabled - causes warnings to fail the build.
> This is confusing, especially for new developers on a team who are often
> unable to locate the dependency problems causing the build to fail in the
> logs because they only look for "error" level messages.
> To avoid such problems, I would suggest deprecating the failOnWarning
> parameter, and instead introduce a new parameter such as
> treatDependencyProblemsAs which could take as a default level "warning" and
> which users could alternatively set to "error".
> I am setting this as a "major improvement" because in my experience, it
> causes significant confusion over and over again.
