New plugin: Find duplicate resources on the classpath

[Aaron Digulla]

Hallo,

A few weeks ago, we used mvn duplicate-finder:check for the first  
time. We were pretty surprised how many duplicates the tool found in  
our project.

One of the main culprits were Maven dependencies which were tainted  
with code from other projects or dependencies which used artifacts  
with a different coordinate (commons-lang:commons-lang vs.  
org.apache.commons:commons-lang).

Is there a plugin to check for this smell?

Regards,

Hi Aaron

There is no such plugin but If I've correctly understood your point you can use the Dependencies link on the left menu of Sonar to search for a specific library. But I suppose that you'd like something more automated :)

Hi Aaron,

I don't know well the duplicate-finder Maven plugin but I guess the Sonar cross-project duplication detection should provide even better results : http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/Duplications

Kind regards,

Freddy

Hi Freddy

I think Aaron is looking for a plugin that finds duplications or similar problems with lirbaries dependencies not just source code.

Maybe you can add a feature like this in Sonar CPD, although I believe it's something different :)

The "Libraries" link just shows the output of mvn dependency:tree.

I'm talking about duplicate classed and resources on the classpath,  
for example having org/slf4j/Logger.class three times on the  
classpath. Or two different versions of Spring. Or getting errors that  
IOUtils.closeQuietly() doesn't exist because you have  
org.apache.batik.pdf-1.6.0.jar on the classpath.

I see what you mean Aaron and in that case I do confirm that there isn't any Sonar plugin to report such kind of issue. The short way to provide such feature would be to create a Sonar plugin based on on the maven-duplicate-finder-plugin : https://github.com/ning/maven-duplicate-finder-plugin/ (We could imagine to directly pilot this library to remove the dependency on the Maven mojo)

Kind regards,

Freddy

It would be great to have such a plugin; as I said, we were pretty  
surprised how polluted our classpath was when we ran the Maven plugin  
for the first time.

What would be the next step?

Hello,

I guess this plugin would be very similar to the Clirr plugin (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/Clirr+Plugin) so the source code of this plugin should be a good starting point : https://svn.codehaus.org/sonar-plugins/tags/sonar-clirr-plugin-1.1/. 

Just in case, here is the documentation explaining how to develop a Sonar plugin : http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/Developing+Plugins.

Kind regards,

Freddy
