I've posted this question to StackOverflow here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9229020/jenkins-not-showing-maven-compiler-errors
I'll summarize here, but to see full output I hope you wouldn't mind clicking that link - the output is long and better encapsulated there then in this email. When Jenkins 1.450 builds my maven 3 project, if there are compiler errors all I get is an exception from the maven-compiler-plugin and not the actual syntax errors you usually see. When building locally, you _do_ get the syntax errors. I found a similar (possibly the same) issue on Jenkins' Jira: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-10333 but no action had been taken. Has anyone else seen this? Is this a Jenkins issue or a Maven issue (or both)? -tim Tim Drury Architect SAP Manufacturing Execution (SAP ME) Supply Chain Management SAP Labs, LLC T +1 404 943 2088 F +1 610 492 2257 mailto:t.dr...@sap.com www.sap.com Please consider the impact on the environment before printing this e-mail.
