No javac Compiler Warnings with javac nested in groovyc

[Paul Henry <pa...@futrix.com>]

Hi All,

We have recently moved to a joint compile of our Java and Groovy code base
in our Ant build scripts as expanded use of Groovy introduced
bi-directional dependencies between the Groovy and Java code.

The code is compiled successfully. However as a result of nesting javac
inside groovyc the compilation doesn't spit out the Java compiler warnings
anymore.

our Ant directive looks something like

            <groovyc destdir="${src.bin.dir}">
                <src path="${src.dir}"/>
                <classpath>
                    <path location="${project.libs.path}"/>
                </classpath>
            <!-- The Javac command inherits the destdir, src path, and
classpath from the enclosing groovyc task -->
                <javac debug="true"
                       source="1.6"
                       target="1.6">
                    <compilerarg line="-Xlint:all -Xmaxwarns 10000" />
                </javac>
            </groovyc>

Ideally i would like the compilation to spit out the same set of compiler
warnings i would get from running groovyc and javac seperately over the
code base.

Is anyone able to assist with this.

( We were feeding those compiler warnings into the Jenkins Warnings
plugin... yes while no compiler warnings looks great, its not really
accurate )

Cheers

- Paul
