Is it possible to include Javac lint in the Android lint report?

Question

When generating the Android lint report using ./gradlew lintDebug , the javac lint errors such as deprecation or unchecked conversions are not included in the report.

I currently am just enabling these javac options when compiling:

(build.gradle)
tasks.withType(Compile) {
    options.compilerArgs << "-Xlint:unchecked" << "-Xlint:deprecation"
}

But the problem with this is that the error messages are sent to the console, not to the lint report.

It is really a trivial matter, but it would be nice if all lint showed up in the same place.

My current lintDebug output:

$ ./gradlew lintDebug

This is not possible at the moment.

Once the Android plugin is compatible with the Java plugin you'll be able to run other static analysis tools that provides a Gradle plugin (findbugs, pmd, etc...). It'll be in their own report though.
