Welcome to gradle quality plugin

Plugin activates and configures quality tools for java and groovy projects using Checkstyle, PMD, FindBugs, CodeNarc. Plugin unifies console output for all quality plugins which greatly simplifies developer workflow: only console is required for working with violations and makes it feel the same as java compiler errors.

Note

Google's error-prone is not included because checkstyle and pmd covers all error-prone checks and quality plugin makes all tools behave the same way as error-prone, but without java compiler modifications and environment specific setup.
