Violation Comments to GitLab Maven Plugin

This is a Maven plugin for Violation Comments to GitLab Lib.

It can parse results from static code analysis and comment merge requests in GitLab with them.

An alternative is also to have violations-command-line convert the violations to CodeClimate format and upload that to GitLab. It is explained in readme of violations-command-line.

The merge must be performed first in order for the commented lines in the MR to match the lines reported by the analysis tools!

Example of supported reports are available here.

A number of parsers have been implemented. Some parsers can parse output from several reporters.
