Animal-sniffer maven plugin: How to convert signatures into signature artifact?

I'm trying Animal Sniffer.

I've created the .signature files. But to run the check, I need a "signature artifact". 

<signature>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo.signature</groupId>
    <artifactId>java15</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</signature>

This is for JDK. I need one for my project's modules.

Without it, the plugin complains:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:animal-sniffer-maven-plugin:1.9:check (default-cli) on project ....
The parameters 'signature' for goal org.codehaus.mojo:animal-sniffer-maven-plugin:1.9:check are missing or invalid.

How should I create it?

Subquestion: Can I have aggregated file for all modules of a project?

Solution

  • Seems I simply need to "install" the .signature file. I.e. get it to the repo. Somehow. It doesn't appear automatically when running build goal.
