Description
Description
We enjoy the usage of the lint rule ToolchainVersionRule in our monorepo, as it also informs colleagues on the team what the recommended BTVA version is for a package.
But for some projects in our monorepo we have a custom pom (which has the actual vmware.pscoe pom as parent) to override some behavior to fit our workflow.
When doing this, we lose the lint rules as they are mapped to specific parent artifactId:groupIds https://github.com/vmware/vrealize-developer-tools/blob/1cc7b69475bdb2966f780ef7a0b79b26614fdd9c/packages/node/vrdt-common/src/maven/PomFile.ts#L10-L19
Would it be possible to add a new extension setting, e.g. vrdev.buildTools.extraVroGroups? Here we could provide an object of key/values, similar to the already existing PomFile.ParentGroupByArtifact.
// package.json
{
"contributes": {
// ....
"configuration": {
// ....
"vrdev.buildTools.extraVroGroups": {
"type": "object",
"required": false,
"default": {},
"description": "Extra Parent groups to consider as valid vRO Projects.",
"scope": "resource"
}
}
}
}
And then add something like:
static readonly ParentGroupByArtifact = {
"base-package": "com.vmware.pscoe.o11n",
"actions-package": "com.vmware.pscoe.o11n",
"xml-package": "com.vmware.pscoe.o11n",
"typescript-project": "com.vmware.pscoe.o11n",
"typescript-project-all": "com.vmware.pscoe.o11n",
"vra-package": "com.vmware.pscoe.vra",
"vra-ng-package": "com.vmware.pscoe.vra-ng",
"polyglot-project": "com.vmware.pscoe.polyglot",
+ ...vscode.workspace.getConfiguration().get<VrealizeSettings>("vrdev").buildTools.extraVroGroups || {}
}
So the usage would be:
// .vscode/settings.json
{
"vrdev.buildTools.defaultVersion": "4.6.0",
"vrdev.buildTools.extraVroGroups": {
"custom-package": "com.example.custom-vro"
}
}
Alternatives
Creating custom lint rules for the XML files. But we'd like to keep it to this extension and ESLint.
Additional Context
I am willing to make a PR for this, but would like the input of the maintainers before starting.

Research direction
Start with packages/node/vrdt-common/src/maven/PomFile.ts and the ToolchainVersionRule reference, then inspect the extension configuration in package.json. Add the vrdev.buildTools.extraVroGroups setting and make configured parent groups participate in the existing validation; the example in .vscode/settings.json should be recognized for custom-package.
