[jira] Closed: (MNG-3186) First iteration of concise, user-centric error reporting

["John Casey (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3186?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

John Casey closed MNG-3186.
---------------------------

      Assignee: John Casey
    Resolution: Fixed

We've got a reporting system in place now, covered by implementations of:

org.apache.maven.errors.CoreErrorReporter
org.apache.maven.project.error.ProjectErrorReporter

These provide a host of very specific methods taking relevant context information from aspect bindings in the build, and rendering one concise, user-oriented message per method. They are meant to be deadly simple, without a lot of decision logic...just to help make the reporting api explicit for anyone who wants to implement it.

BTW, The MavenExecutionRequest and Configuration (in the embedder) both have methods for setting a custom reporter, to allow IDE integrators better access to the context information. In CLI mode, all error reports are flushed out at the end of the build, via the CLIReportingUtils utility class.
