There are a bunch of languages which don't have a well-established folder structure in the gradle or maven ecosystems (specifically
C/C++
,typescript
,markdown/freshmark
, andsql
). Previously we had used heavy wildcards (e.g.**/*.md
), which are wildly inefficient, and often cause subprojects to be formatted multiple times (possibly in conflicting ways).For these languages, it would be better for the user to provide a hand-crafted target. For example, our current
C/C++
default of**/*.h, **/*.hpp, **/*.c, **/*.cpp **/*.inc, ...
can often be replaced by justsrc/**
, which performs far better and requires less documentation.This PR turns these defaults into an error message in maven, and a deprecation warning (soon to be error) in gradle. Although it is a breaking change to remove these defaults, it would not be a breaking change to add them back. So if you disagree with this change, please feel free to speak up here in this PR.
