[tycho-dev] Effect of showWarnings?

["Oberlies, Tobias" <tobias.oberlies@xxxxxxx>]

Following David's comment below, I played around with the tycho-compiler-plugin showWarnings parameter [1], and I'm not sure I understood its effect.

I've set up a little example in the bundles/bundle-1 project in this Github project [2], and it seems that showWarnings has no effect: Warnings are logged if and only if useProjectSettings=true. I.e. with showWarnings=true and useProjectSettings=false, *no* warnings are logged, and with showWarnings=false and useProjectSettings=true, the warnings are logged *anyway*.


Another observation was that the warnings in the configured -log file and the console log are always identical. From David's comment below, I first thought that showWarnings is only supposed to affect the console log output.

So am I missing anything, or is showWarning in fact broken/useless?

Cheers
Tobias

Yes, thought I should point out that 
<showWarnings>true</showWarnings>
controls compiler warnings being printed in the console log.  

My preference would be to leave that as is, and then *add* this new
functionality, even if a little redundant -- if nothing else, can provide a
sanity check that the two agree with each other? Not to mention, I'm sure some
in community are "used to" having the <showWarnings>. I assume that is
implemented differently as well ... as a "listener" of some sort? (i.e. not all
the same information is printed, as when -log is specified to batch compiler,
such as literal parameters, totals, access warnings, etc. 

Just wanted to be explicit.
