Description David Williams CLA 2013-02-14 19:10:13 EST 
In fixing bug 400758, I "hard coded" the proceedOnError flag for the JDT compiler in the eclipse parent pom, as that is the main use-case for our production builds. 
            <compilerArguments>
              <inlineJSR/>
              <enableJavadoc/>
              <encoding>${project.build.sourceEncoding}</encoding>
              <proceedOnError/>
              <log>${project.build.directory}/@dot.xml</log>
            </compilerArguments>

There may be times when a user would like to override, such as doing a quick local build, and would prefer a build to end right away, at the first compile error, if any. 

This could be made user settable by using a maven profile, but would prefer not to put in too many profiles at this point to avoid complexity, but ... if there is enough need could do in the future.
