[jira] [Commented] (YETUS-59) Verify any Cat X runtime dependencies are optional

["Allen Wittenauer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YETUS-59?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14941410#comment-14941410 ] 

Allen Wittenauer commented on YETUS-59:
---------------------------------------

While laying in bed sick, it occurred to me that I'm approaching this with the wrong set of assumptions.  We really have no way to autodetect if a certain tool that is tied to a build system will actually work unless we also parse the build tool control file.

I still think it's a terrible UX, but I don't think we have a choice BUT to make the user specify tests that are tied to build tools/config support, such as findbugs and checkstyle.  Having some opt-in and some opt-out is going to be confusing. So I guess we really do have to make them all opt-in. :( :( :(

> we need to make sure anything with a category X license is optional if possible.

> So relying on bash as a platform is fine, but we should make sure e.g. findbugs is optional.
