-------------------------------------------
Summary: Be able to check root files
Key: MCHECKSTYLE-321
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-321
Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: checkstyle:check
Affects Versions: 2.17
Reporter: Vincent Zurczak
Priority: Trivial
Today, the Maven Checkstyle plug-in allows to verify files within the Maven
directories: sources, test sources, resources and test resources.
In addition to this, I would personnaly like to verify my *pom.xml* file.
I have tried many things but I did not succeed in validating my POM files with
Checkstyle. And looking at the code, I think I saw why.
The reason for such a verification is that this file also contains license
headers that I would like to keep verified. And I am pretty sure there would be
other rules I would like to check (such as indentation, etc).
If we consider other project kinds, such as Eclipse plug-ins, one may want to
verify *plugin.xml* and *feature.xml* files. So, it would be nice to be able to
specify *otherIncludes* in the plug-in's configuration. This new parameter
would contain a list of files to verify, when they exist.
If the idea is accepted, I am ready to contribute a patch for this feature.
