How to config Maven compiler plugin to continue on a error occurrence and show them at the end of build process?

Question

It's may be a simple question, but I've googled a lot and I didn't find something. I have a very big solution with more than 50 modules. I build solution using Maven and the build process takes more than 10 minutes. When the Maven compiler plugin sees the first error, it halts. I want a way to tell the Maven compiler plugin to continue on error occurrence and at the last, show me all compile errors, to avoid the rebuilding the project after the fixing of first compile error

You can use mvn compiler:help -Ddetail=true to see your Maven compiler options. This includes the option:

failOnError

Indicates whether the build will continue even if there are compilation errors.

You should be able to set this as a plugin property in your pom and make it optional via profiles, etc.

This will only apply to compilation errors - I would expect the build to halt on other Maven errors.
