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

[Christian Schwarz <chriss.dev@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.

Does it mean that we can use an other compiler other than JDT, otherwise the attribute <compilerId> make no sense?

 

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

Yes, Findbugs is pritty similar to error-prone but it is not able to make a build fail, as far as i know. Maybe it there is an extension or mavan-plugin for findbugs that provide that functionality.
