This plugin generates the trend report for Checkstyle, an open source static code analysis program.
Description
The Checkstyle plug-in scans for checkstyle-result.xml files in the build workspace and reports the number of warnings found. This plug-in is part of the suite of static code analysis plug-ins that are documented on a separate WIKI page.
The following features are provided by this plug-in:
- Configuration of the files to scan after a build.
- Build summary showing the new and fixed warnings of a build
- Trend reports showing the number of warnings in corresponding colors
- Severity Trend: visualizes the number of warnings per severity
- Threshold Trend: visualizes the number of warnings below and above the health thresholds
- Overview of the found warnings per module, package, category, or type
- Parsing of Maven pom.xml or Ant build.xml configuration files to obtain the module or project name
- Parsing of Java files to obtain the package or name space name
- Detail reports of the found warnings optionally filtered by severity (or new and fixed)
- Short messages is read from the report file
- Detailed description is read from the Checkstyle library
- Colored HTML display of the corresponding source file and warning lines:
- Direct link to the warning line
- Highlighting of single lines as well as line ranges
- Highlighting of multiple line ranges per warning (different color for primary range)
- Tool tip describing the warning message
- Failure threshold to mark a build as unstable
- Configurable project health support
- Works with the freestyle and native m2 build option of Hudson (activated on goal checkstyle:checkstyle or site)
- Localization available for: DE (Please help to localize checkstyle for your locale!)
The current release is available in the download section. This plug-in is developed and maintained by Ullrich Hafner. Please use the Hudson mailing lists or issue tracker to ask questions, create feature request or bug reports, since I don't read the comment section on this page regularly.
