Plugin Information

Description

 
This plug-in is supported by the Static Analysis Collector plug-in that collects different analysis results and shows the results in aggregated trend graphs. Additionally, health reporting and build stability is also based on the aggregated results.

The tasks scanner plug-in scans the workspace files for open tasks like TODO, FIXME, or @deprecated. It is inspired by the maven taglist plug-in. This plug-in is part of the suite of static code analysis plug-ins that are documented on a separate WIKI page.

• You can specify the files to scan after a build
• Three configurable priority levels are supported (e.g. HIGH=FIXME, NORMAL=TODO, LOW=@deprecated)
• Several trend reports showing the number of tasks per build
• Overview of the found tasks per module or package
  • Parsing of Maven pom.xml or Ant build.xml configuration files to obtain the module or project name
  • Parsing of Java or C# files to obtain the package or name space name
• Detail reports of the found tasks filtered by severity
• Colored HTML display of the corresponding source files and with direct links to the tasks
• Highlighting of the line that contains a task (with a tool tip showing the priority)
• Failure threshold to mark a build as unstable
• Configurable project health support
• Works with the freestyle and native m2 build option
• Remote API to export the build quality and found open tasks
• Several tokens to simplify post processing of the results
• Localization available for: DE, JA (Please help to localize task scanner for your locale!)

The current release is available in the download section. This plug-in is developed and maintained by Ullrich Hafner. Please use the mailing lists or issue tracker to ask questions, create feature request or bug reports, since I don't read the comment section on this page regularly.

Configuration

Configuring the plug-in should be self-explanatory: You simply need to activate the task scanner plug-in as shown below. Add the tag keywords you would like to use and save the configuration. Then the next build will report the number of open tasks and show the trend.
