Qulice is a static analysis quality control instrument for Java projects. It combines all the best static analysis instruments and pre-configure them. 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>
      <configuration>
        <license>file:${basedir}/LICENSE.txt</license>
      </configuration>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <goals>
            <goal>check</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

and make sure you have the JDK binaries (including the Java compiler javac) accessible from your PATH environment variable (e.g. if you have JDK 1.8.0 installed in Windows your PATH should contain something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin).

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}.
