Benjamin Marwell created MNG-7393: ------------------------------------- Summary: API change: let `canGenerateReport` throw an Exception Key: MNG-7393 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7393 Project: Maven Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Benjamin Marwell
Hi everyone, the `AbstractReportMojo` declares a method `canGenerateReport`. However, it is unable to throw any exceptions. Not even MojoExecutionEx or MavenReportEx, which is most unfortunate. It is being used twice: Once in execute() throws MojoExEx and in generate() throws MavenReportEx (and is called by execute()). This way, there is no way for reporting plugins to scan for files, because FileUtils::getFiles DOES throw a IOException, which then cannot be wrapped. However, the IOException from that method is useless anyway, because it is never declared in any methods it calls. Therefore please consider: * Declaring any Exception on `canGenerateReports` * Removing the declared IOException in PlexusUtils ([PR exists|https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-utils/issues/180]) and Maven-Utils (issue: tbd).
