David Parry commented on MNG-1113: ---------------------------------- But it's not a "Properties" file that's needed here, it's the Checkstyle XML configuration file, which contains XML, not key-value pairs. Either this needs to be renamed (to configFile or similar), or you're talking about the wrong thing. The default configuration files, (e.g. "sun") have some quite wrong-headed settings in them that are just plain wrong in certain circumstances. For instance, it checks for trailing white spaces on blank lines... yet, my editor's auto-indenting works by inserting spaces to the current indent level, regardless of whether it's a blank line or not. A lot of editors behave this way. Trying to run Checkstyle over my otherwise-checkstyle-correct code with this setting on produces 1000s of errors. And, as Dave Sag mentions, requesting Javadoc comments for private fields is crazy overkill. So, we need to have a custom configuration. Can i assume that there is NO WAY to do this at the moment? > Plugin does not support using custom checkstyle XML config file > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1113 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1113 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: maven-checkstyle-plugin > Versions: 2.0-beta-3 > Reporter: Vincent Massol > Assignee: Edwin Punzalan > Attachments: MNG-1113-maven-checkstyle-plugin.patch, recommended.txt > > > The plugin source code says: > /** > * Specifies the location of the checkstyle properties that will be used > to check the source. > * > * @parameter > */ > private File propertiesFile; > But in practice it's only loading *properties* and not the XML.
