Hey, Checkstyle task is not thread safe and unhappy in --parallel build (I've raised a ticket for it here: http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-3146). Currently, checkstyle task uses antbuilder. I'd say that we should use checkstyle commandline api instead. This way, we could fork off the operation, just like we do for FindBugs. Thoughts? Other solution would be to give each instance its own copy of the check style classes. I’m surprised we don’t do this already. That said, the other benefits of forking (e.g. memory control) make forking worth doing.
