Qulice is a static analysis quality control instrument for Java projects. It combines all the best static analysis instruments and pre-configure them, including Checkstyle and PMD. You don't need to use and configure them individually any more.

Just add this plugin to your pom.xml:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>com.qulice</groupId>
      <artifactId>qulice-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>0.25.1</version>
      <configuration>
        <license>file:${basedir}/LICENSE.txt</license>
      </configuration>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <goals>
            <goal>check</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Also remember that we support Maven 3.1+.

The path to license has to be declared in the following format: file:${basedir}/LICENSE.txt, it's the default value, one can use any full path instead of ${basedir}.

In order to download schemas required for XML validation you might need proxy setup. Maven proxy is not supported, but standard JVM proxy works fine. To use it just add -Dhttp.proxyHost=HOST -Dhttp.proxyPort=PORT to your MAVEN_OPTS environment variable or to Maven command, e.g. mvn clean verify -Dhttp.proxyHost=HOST -Dhttp.proxyPort=PORT.
