[jbosstools-dev] PROPOSAL: parent pom breaking change -- run baseline checks even if -DskipTests=true

Currently, when you build with -DskipTests, the baseline checks are also skipped. This means that if you make a change to a file in a plugin, and build it locally to see if anything breaks, but forget to bump the version of the plugin and its containing feature, you won't see the baseline check failure until it's built in Jenkins and someone like me complains about it to you directly. Using Jenkins to discover these problems is slow and can cause downstream jobs to fail too (if you're for example changing things in multiple inter-dependent projects) This happened recently in the 4.4.x branch for changes to openshift and base, leading to broken builds and time wasted investigating why the builds had failed. So I propose this change in parent pom for 4.4.x and master branches: - <skipBaselineComparison>${skipTestsOrITests}</skipBaselineComparison> + <skipBaselineComparison>false</skipBaselineComparison> Please provide your +1/-1 on this JIRA: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-24114 -- Nick Boldt :: JBoss by Red Hat Productization Lead :: JBoss Tools & Dev Studio http://nick.divbyzero.com
