Introduction

This module provides a maven parent-pom which can be used to defined artifacts which employ a couple of very useful maven configurations. Out of the box, you get:

• A maven-enforcer-plugin configuration which will require proper dependency management.

• A maven-compiler-plugin configuration for java 6, but which will be noisy with warnings so you can fix them.

• A maven profile called "paranoid" which will also then enable:

  • The maven-pmd-plugin with rules defined in by the pmd-configuration artifact, and which will fail the build if violations are present. This plugin also runs PMD's copy and paste detection (CPD) check.

  • The findbugs-maven-plugin which will run at its highest threshold and attempt to find bugs, failing the build if it does.

  • The cobertura-maven-plugin which will fail the build if test coverage (line or branch) is less than 75% across any of: an individual class; a package; or the entire module.

Usage

Until this artifact is hosted somewhere centrally, you'll need to check it out, and install it locally via the standard "mvn install" command. Something like:

$ mvn install

Once that is done, you can then use this module's artifacts as the parent coordinates for your project:

<parent>
     <groupId>ph.hum</groupId>
     <artifactId>common-parent</artifactId>
     <version>0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
 </parent>
