Allow to specify fullpath of pom.xml as project path

[sylvainlaurent]

Hello @bentolor ,

I find your project quite useful and I even created a docker image to run inspections more easily: https://github.com/sylvainlaurent/docker-intellij-inspect

My goal is to help running inspections on maven projects (not pure IJ projects), and until recently I thought I always had to commit many IntelliJ-specific files to VCS.
But I recently played with TeamCity and found out that you can actually specify the path to a pom.xml rather than the root of the IJ project. I observed what TeamCity actually does to launch the inspections: in such a case it does the same thing as your groovy script except that the first argument is the full path to the pom.xml.

Thus, I wonder if your groovy script could be modified to allow specifying a full path to a pom.xml rather than requiring a directory?
I also noticed that the inspection profile XML file is not required to be in .idea/inspectionProfiles, one could have it elsewhere...

Would you like me to work on a pull-request for this enhancement?

Hi @sylvainlaurent

this is great! I love the idea of a docker image for easier integration of IDEA inspections into toolchains other than Teamcity.

So as far as I understand you propose the following changes:

1. Allow to point the -r option to a parent pom.xml-file as an additional alternative instead of the default of pointing to a directory with a pre-existing .idea-configuration/directory
2. Allow to pass absolute paths to the -p option enabling the users to use inspections file located anywhere in the file system

Sounds fine for me. I'm happy to review your pull-requests for this enhancement!
