Description

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

While using the feature of checkstyle-aggregate to generate the report with two sub module maven, the report is only displaying the Java files of the "src/main/java" sub folder in the Project Documentation/Project Reports/Checkstyle on the aggregate report.

The report for the individual sub module in Project Documentation/Project Reports/Checkstyle is diplaying both Java file from the "src/main/java" and the "gen/main/java".

It would be expected that the aggregate report would contain all the Java files described in each of the sub modules.

I added the new source folder (gen/main/java) in children poms with the plugin "build-helper-maven-plugin".

I also tried different configuration with the sourceDirectories tag without success.

I think my problem is that the aggregate report is generated with the parent module before the build-helper-maven-plugin phase to add source folders in children pom.

I attached an example that is highlighting the undesired behavior. The cli is "mvn -Pcheckstyle clean compile site"

It seems to me that the observed behavior is not aligned with the expected functionality of the plugin. I could not find a work around or an alternative to obtain the desired aggregate functionality.

 

Kind Regards,
