To run the Personal Data Checker in Blueprint you need to enable the Maven profile checkPersonalData while compiling. This profile is defined in module blueprint-parent.

Note

As of version 2.5.3 the Checker Framework has the following limitation:

• You must not build in parallel while running Checker (issue typetools/checker-framework#1771).

The checker for personal data will analyze all modules with a direct or transitive dependency to Maven module coremedia-personal-data. In your Maven output you will recognize the messageChecking @PersonalDataonce such a module is found in your Maven build.

By default, the Checker Framework will trigger a failure once it detects a violation in using personal data objects. To change the behavior to print only warnings instead, add the compiler argument -Awarns. Configure the maven-compiler-plugin for the checkPersonalData profile in blueprint-parent module accordingly. For more configuration options have a look at the documentation at checkerframework.org.
