Is there a way to configure an accepted number of errors in order to introduce spotbugs into existing projects

Open ottlinger opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

When I use spotbugs for the first time on an existing codebase I expect it to find bugs/errors/warnings.

Is there a way to configure the maven plugin to accept a certain number of errors and fail the build if that number is exceeded?

After I checked the docs I thought about failThreshold, but this parameter is already used for something else.

Do you see value in an addition of an <allowedErrorsThreshold> configuration option that allows to migrate to spotbugs and integrate it into projects and fails the build only if that number is exceeded. A warning could be issued if the total bug count is lower that the configured threshold?

WDYT?
