[MENFORCER-507] Add xsltLocation parameter to ExternalRules (original) (raw)

Add a new optional parameter called xsltLocation to org.apache.maven.enforcer.rules.ExternalRules.

The new parameter points at a location of an XSLT file used to transform the rule document available via location before it is applied.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="" title="undefined" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*"> xsl:copy <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>

<xsl:template match= "//bannedDependencies/excludes/exclude[contains(text(), 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305')]"/>

Then the effective rule set will look like to following:
