Exec as command-line tool

Command-line tool is mostly aimed to aid developers. Nevertheless you may use it if you like. To launch use mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="...args..." inside huntbugs subdirectory. Examples:

• mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="-lw" will list all the warnings.
• mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="myfolder/*.jar" will analyze all jars inside myfolder writing the report into huntbugs.warnings.xml and huntbugs.warnings.html in current directory.
• mvn exec:java will show all the supported command line options.
