3.0.0

• Update codenarc 1.0 -> 1.1
• Update checkstyle 8.2 -> 8.8
• Update pmd 5.8.1 -> 6.1.0
• Update pmd config:
  • (breaking) All rules reordered according to new groups
  • Disable CommentDefaultAccessModifier as not useful
  • Disable ExcessiveClassLength
    and ExcessiveMethodLength
    in favor of new rule NcssCount (which counts lengths without empty lines and comments)
  • Defaults for NcssCount (which counts length without empty lines and comments) changed:
    30 lines for method and 300 for class (with previous Excessive* rules it was 50 and 500 accordingly)
  • Disable new rule DataClass as too strict for general cases
  • Switch from ModifiedCyclomaticComplexity (deprecated) to
    CyclomaticComplexity with ignoreBooleanPaths option
• (breaking) use Spotbugs (3.1.2) instead of Findbugs by default (as successor)
  • com.github.spotbugs external plugin applied (quality plugin brings it as a dependency)
  • Spotbugs plugin will use configs from different folder (spotbugs/), so if custom findbugs configs were used move them to spotbugs/ folder
  • Findbugs support is deprecated and will be removed someday (but not soon).
  • To use findbugs (as before): disable spotbugs support (quality.spotbugs = false)
    or enable findbugs plugin manually (in this case spotbugs plugin will not be registered)
• Update spotbugs exclusions:
  • Exclude NP_METHOD_PARAMETER_TIGHTENS_ANNOTATION
    check as it prevents @nullable override, which may be required for guava functions
  • Exclude NP_NULL_ON_SOME_PATH_FROM_RETURN_VALUE
    check as misleading and not useful

2.4.0

• Support gradle 4.2 (#3)
• Update checkstyle 8.0 -> 8.2

• Update pmd 5.5.4 -> 5.8.1
• Update pmd config:
  • Add description to avoid warning
  • Disable AccessorMethodGeneration
    check as it makes sense for android projects and not so important for java.
    Moreover, possible fixes will contradict with checkstyle's VisibilityModifier

2.2.0

• Update checkstyle 7.4 -> 7.6
• Update pmd 5.5.2 -> 5.5.4
• Update codenarc 0.26.0 -> 0.27.0

  • Disable NullAssignment
    check due to false positives
• Add unified exclusion patterns (glob) configuration: exclude (#2)
  • Does not affect animalsniffer because it's a different type of check
  • Findbugs did not support direct exclusions, so plugin resolves excluded classes and adds them to exclusion xml (default or user defined)
• Add configuration to directly exclude source files from check (for exceptional cases when pattern exclusion cant help): excludeSources
  • Does not affect animalsniffer
  • For findbugs excluded classes will be added to exclusions xml filter

    JUnit4TestShouldUseTestAnnotation

2.0.0

• Update checkstyle 6.17 -> 7.1 (requires min jdk 8)
• Update checkstyle config:
  • Add SingleSpaceSeparator check (since 6.19)
  • Disable FileLength check in favour of more correct PMD ExcessiveClassLength check (which checks actual class length not file)
  • Enable ReturnCount to replace pmd OnlyOneReturn check

• Update pmd config:
  • Disable UselessParentheses because of too many false positives
  • Disable OnlyOneReturn in favour of checkstyle ReturnCount
  • Disable InvalidSlf4jMessageFormat due to known bug
  • Disable CyclomaticComplexity and StdCyclomaticComplexity as duplicate rules for ModifiedCyclomaticComplexity
• Update codenarc 0.25.1 -> 0.25.2
• (breaking) quality.lintOptions configuration now applies to all JavaCompile tasks (not only to compileJava as before)
• Fix multi-module projects reporting (remove duplicate reports)
• Fix generated html reports links (redundant slash on linux)
• Fix newline in reporters (use platform specific)
• Change reporting format so intelliJ IDEA can recognize class reference and show link (eclipse will probably too). Reference line ranges are not shown anymore (pmd, findbugs and column in checkstyle) - always exact line.
• (breaking) configure manually registered plugins, even if plugin not supposed to be used due to sources auto detection. Configuration may be disabled using quality configuration flags.
• Add ability to disable automatic plugins registration: quality.autoRegistration = false. Only manually registered plugins will be configured.
• Add ability to disable quality tasks with configuration property: quality.enabled = false. Quality tasks will still work if called directly or through grouping task (e.g. checkQualityMain).
• (breaking) Remove checkstyle html report generation: gradle can generate html report since 2.10 and when gradle generates html report, it puts link to it into main error message
• Findbugs html report is always generated (not only when errors found like before)
• Add ability to disable console reporting with configuration property: quality.consoleReporting = false
• Add grouping tasks for registered quality plugins: checkQualityMain, checkQualityTest (per source set). Allows running quality tasks for exact source set or run quality tasks not enabled for 'check' task.
