This seems related to a question posed yesterday regarding trying to cleanup when Its fail. Currently once a plugin returns an exception, the build stops immediately. That makes it impossible to make a plugin come along later in the same build and inspect the results.
For the core Its, we use the verifier plugin to launch the builds and then it has a method to scan for errors in the log. This is one approach you could use, but it involves executing a separate maven build from another build. -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey N Hagelberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 2:55 PM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Failure Detection within Plugin? Hi, I am working on writing a Mojo that works as part of our nightly build. This plugin needs to be able to detect if there were any previous build failures and send out an email if there were. I'm trying to determine how do detect whether or not there were previous build failures. It looks like this information is stored in the ReactorManager, but I don't know how to get at that (or if it is even possible). Does anyone know how to get at it or a better way to know if any of the previous plugins that were run generated exceptions?
