Here is a concise answer to your query:
IntelliJ IDEA’s code inspection functionality is not fully open source, but there are ways to run code inspections as part of a Maven build:
- IntelliJ IDEA’s code inspection engine is not fully open source, but it is extensible via plugins. The core inspection functionality is part of the IntelliJ Platform, which is open source, but many specific inspections are part of the commercial IntelliJ IDEA product[1][3].
- To run IntelliJ code inspections during a Maven build, you can use the IntelliJ IDEA Maven Plugin. This plugin allows you to run inspections on your codebase and fail the build if any problems are found[2].
To use it:
- Configure the plugin in your Maven pom.xml file
- Specify the inspection profile to use
- Run
mvn idea:inspect
to execute the inspections
This allows you to enforce code quality standards and fail the build if any problems are detected, similar to running unit tests[2].
So in summary, while the full inspection engine is not open source, you can leverage the IntelliJ IDEA Maven Plugin to run code inspections as part of your Maven build process and enforce code quality standards.
