Option to mark warnings as errors

See original GitHub issue

I’d love an option to mark error prone warnings as errors so that even warnings won’t get ignored.

While it is possible to do the following:

tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
  options.compilerArgs += [ '-Werror' ]
}

it does not really suffice since all warnings are then marked as errors. Another option would be for every error prone rule to increase the severity though this will get impossible to maintain.

Maybe it could be something as simple as -Xep:WarningsAsErrors.

@cushon wasn’t this implemented the other way around meaning that you can downgrade errors to warnings but not the other way around?

This sounds like a good idea to me. We’ve also received requests for a flag to enable all checks as warnings (even if they’re errors by default) in order to collect the full list of diagnostics for a codebase. I imagine the implementation of the two flags would be very similar.
