Question

When calling the Maven goal

cobertura:clean -DforceMojoExecution=true -X

from within Eclipse on my project, the forceMojoExecution won’t be applied.

The debug log contains the following line:

[DEBUG]   (f) forceMojoExecution = false

The same problem occurs on our Jenkins installation.

When calling

dependency:analyze -DfailOnWarning=true -X

on the same project, the parameter failOnWarning is correctly applied.

See here for the Maven Cobertura plugin. I’m using it in version 2.5.1.

Answer 1

I had to set forceMojoExecution in the plugin configuration section in the pom.xml.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <forceMojoExecution>true</forceMojoExecution>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
