Gradle quality plugin

DOCUMENTATION http://xvik.github.io/gradle-quality-plugin

About

Static code analysis for Java and Groovy projects using Checkstyle, PMD, CPD, SpotBugs and CodeNarc. Plugin implements unified console output for all quality plugins, which greatly simplifies developer workflow: only console required for working with violations and makes it feel the same as java compiler errors.

For example, in IntelliJ Idea it would look like:

Features:

Zero configuration by default: provided opinionated configs applied to all quality plugins
- Default configuration files may be customized
Adds extra javac lint options to see more warnings
Complete console output for all quality plugins
Html and xml reports for all plugins (custom xsl used for findbugs html report because it can't generate both xml and html reports)
Grouping tasks to run registered quality plugins for exact source set (e.g. checkQualityMain)

Summary

Configuration: quality
Tasks:
- initQualityConfig - copy default configs for customization
- checkQuality[Main] - run quality tasks for main (or any other) source set
Enable plugins: Checkstyle, PMD, SpotBugs, CodeNarc

Setup

NOTE: when updating plugin version in your project don't forget to call clean task to remove cached configs from previous plugin version

plugins {
    id 'ru.vyarus.quality' version '4.9.0'
}

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'ru.vyarus:gradle-quality-plugin:4.9.0'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'ru.vyarus.quality'

Minimal requirements: java 8, gradle 5.6

Compatibility

Plugin compiled for java 8, compatible with java 11

Gradle	Version
5.6-8	4.9.0
5.1	4.2.2
4.1	3.4.0
older	2.4.0

Java tools require sourceCompatibility=1.8 (or above).

Version 3.3.0 is the latest supporting sourceCompatibility=1.6

Snapshots

Snapshots may be used through JitPack

Go to JitPack project page
Select Commits section and click Get it on commit you want to use (you may need to wait while version builds if no one requested it before) or use master-SNAPSHOT to use the most recent snapshot

For gradle before 6.0 use buildscript block with required commit hash as version:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'ru.vyarus:gradle-quality-plugin:b9474cab84'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'ru.vyarus.quality'

For gradle 6.0 and above:

Add to settings.gradle (top most!) with required commit hash as version:

pluginManagement {
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            if (requested.id.namespace == 'ru.vyarus.quality') {
                useModule('ru.vyarus:gradle-quality-plugin:b9474cab84')
            }
        }
    }
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        gradlePluginPortal()          
    }
}

Use plugin without declaring version:
```
plugins {
    id 'ru.vyarus.quality'
}
```
