I'm building a java project with maven-2 and due to some dependencies listed, and others not listed, in the pom.xml file and the fact that failOnWarning is set to true in the dependency:analyze-only mojo configuration I am not able to build the project without using the maven -fn flag.
Here is more detail.
$ mvn install -X

My question is this:
How can I set failOnWarning = false without changing the pom.xml file for the project?
- The pom.xml file is checked into source control and others on the project don't need to change it to build the project so I expect there is something different about my maven setup.
- We are all using maven 2.2.1 with the same settings.xml file.
This may be a bit over the top, but could you not specify it as a property? e.g. something like <failOnWarnings>${config.failOnWarning}</failOnWarning>
Specify the property in the properties section of your POM to be true. Then you can override it to be false when you run from the command-line.
