The spotbugs plugin only supports multiple files for bug inclusion, exclusion and baseline definition as comma-separated values in the single properties. This makes it very hard to use multiple sets of files in multi-module projects. One basically ends up with overriding the value in every module.
This patch adds additional list support for
<includeFilterFile>
,<excludeFilterFile>
and<excludeBugsFile>
asThis allows the use of the maven
combine.children
setting to dynamically control the set of files for each subproject, e.g.Main project:
Sub module A:
Sub module B:
Thus having the
globalFilterFile.xml
andmoduleAFilterFile.xml
applied to Sub module A andglobalFilterFile.xml
andmoduleBFilterFile.xml
applied to Sub module B.For large projects, this dramatically simplifies configuring spotbugs.
This PR contains integration tests for all the changes (and some for the filter bugs that should have been there. :-) )
