Some time ago I've started some development. My goals are:

- run the architecturerules without a "custom" unit test implementation in a
multiproject environment, see http://maven.apache.org/getting-started.html, Multiple
Modules.

- use a single "parent" architecture-rules.xml for all modules to reduce maintenance
efforts

And I'm not bothered with reports right now ;-)

(No comment was entered for this change.)

Here is a first working version of the maven2 plugin. See sample project's pom.xml
for how to configure it. I plan to implement automatic binding to the test phase later.

Now plugin requires only a configuration file for architecture-rules. There is no
need for a custom unit test.

Unfortunately plugin unable to find source code for affected classes and reports
'cycle.DoCycle: referenced classes not found'. It is a single obstacle on the way.

If there are no objections I'll commit them both.

This is what I have as a prototype for the report so far...

== Summary ==
  some sort of summary

== Rules ==
  each rule listed out, rule id is the header
  each package is listed with each violations listed below it, 
    and that violations status

== Cycles ==
  dunno yet

-- Breakdown --

  Rules Sample configuration:
	
<rule id="dao">
  <comment>The dao interface package should rely on nothing.</comment>
  <packages>
    <package>com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.core.dao</package>
    <package>com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.core.dao.hibernate</package>
  </packages>
  <violations>
    <violation>com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.core.services</violation>
    <violation>com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.core.builder</violation>
    <violation>com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.util</violation>
  </violations>
</rule>

  Contains id=dao a comment, two packages, and three violations. 
  The resulting report would include a 

  header: 'dao'
  paragraph: comment: The dao interface package should rely on nothing.
   
  sub header: com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.core.dao
		
  <table>
  [OK]  com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.core.services
  [OK]  com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.core.builder
  [OK]  com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.util
  </table>

  sub header: com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.core.dao.hibernate
		
  <table>
  [OK]  com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.core.services
  [ERR] com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.core.builder
          xxx depends on yyy
  [OK]  com.seventytwomiles.pagerank.util
  </table>


  The result is the entire violations list is listed for each
  package, with the status as a graphic.
