Re: [tycho-user] Problems changing the compiler to google error-prone

["Sievers, Jan" <jan.sievers@xxxxxxx>]

tycho uses the eclipse JDT compiler by default (it has additional features like package access rules for exported packages etc.).

 

Not sure but I think the idea was that the compiler implementation should be interchangeable (and you may lose some additional features if not using JDT).

If that is true this would qualify as a bug and we should make sure we only use JDT-specific compiler arguments if the JDT compiler is actually used.

 

I don't know the error-prone javac extension but JDT compiler warnings or findbugs may provide similar functionality.

Jan

Hi,

 

we want to ensure the quality of our code by compiling it with google's javac extension "error-prone" (see https://code.google.com/p/error-prone/). I don't know what is going on here since my experience with maven-tycho is limited. I get this error with tycho v0.19.0:

 

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-compiler-plugin:0.19.0:compile (default-compile) on project eu.gemtec.carepi.io: Fatal error compiling: invalid flag: org.osgi.framework.system.packages

 

The pom configuration of the tycho compiler look like this:

 

      <plugin>

      <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>

        <artifactId>tycho-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

        <version>${tycho.version}</version>

        <configuration>

          <compilerId>javac-with-errorprone</compilerId>

        </configuration>

                 

        <dependencies>

          <dependency>

            <groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId>

            <artifactId>plexus-compiler-javac</artifactId>

            <version>2.3</version>

          </dependency>

          <dependency>

            <groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId>

            <artifactId>plexus-compiler-javac-errorprone</artifactId>

            <version>2.3</version>

          </dependency>

        </dependencies>

    </plugin>

 

Does anyone know how to solve it?

 

Regards

Chris
