[GRADLE-1077] Provide declarative support for 'enabling all warnings' Created: 29/Jul/10  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

To turn on all compiler warnings in Gradle, one does the following:

    compileJava {
        options.compilerArgs = ['-Xlint:all']
    }
    compileTestJava {
        options.compilerArgs = ['-Xlint:all']
    }

or, with greater concision

[compileJava, compileTestJava]*.options*.compilerArgs = ['-Xlint:all']

As a nice-to-have, some higher-level DSL support for 'enable all warnings' could be useful. Perl does this via a use strict; declaration. Gradle could have something similar. That way, it's not necessarily just about the compiler, but any other plugins that have optional warnings could be switched on too. It's comfort food for the perfectionists in the crowd.
