I am having real problems getting my plugin config to work.
Here's my use case:
a developer compiles and as part of her build checkstyle must be run and fail a build on any checkstyle errors.
this is easy and works fine.
but within the same pom.xml file
Continuum needs to build everything and, whether the build fails or not, needs to then run the qalab plugin's merge goal with specific config telling it to use the results generated by checkstyle.
the QALab plugin has three different goals and only a few of their config params are in common with each other. so each goal must have its own config.
So right now, for simplicity's sake, I just want the qalab:merge goal to work.
my build section is as follows:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.4</source>
<target>1.4</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.4</source>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<outputFileFormat>xml</outputFileFormat>
<failsOnError>true</failsOnError>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>check-main-src</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<configuration>
<outputFile>${project.build.directory}/checkstyle-result.xml</outputFile>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>checkstyle</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>net.objectlab</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-qalab-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<configuration>
<handler>net.objectlab.qalab.parser.CheckstyleStatMerge</handler>
<inputFile>${project.build.directory}/checkstyle-result.xml</inputFile>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>merge</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
the checkstyle plugin works fine but when I try
%mvn qalab:merge
i get
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] One or more required plugin parameters are invalid/missing for 'qalab:merge'
[0] inside the definition for plugin: 'maven-qalab-plugin'specify the following:
<configuration>
...
<handler>VALUE</handler>
</configuration>.
[1] inside the definition for plugin: 'maven-qalab-plugin'specify the following:
<configuration>
...
<inputFile>VALUE</inputFile>
</configuration>.
if i move the config from the executions block such that it is like so:
<plugin>
<groupId>net.objectlab</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-qalab-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<handler>net.objectlab.qalab.parser.CheckstyleStatMerge</handler>
<inputFile>${project.build.directory}/checkstyle-result.xml</inputFile>
</configuration>
</plugin>
then the params are accepted, but now I can't have different params for the different goals, indeed i can't see how i'd go about specifying different configs for the different goals in such a case. I need goal specific parameter config, not plugin-wide config. or should I make these goals into totally different plugins instead?
