Jagadish Prasath Ramu created MCHECKSTYLE-356:
-------------------------------------------------
Summary: print the checkstyle violations in descending order of
line number
Key: MCHECKSTYLE-356
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-356
Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: checkstyle:checkstyle
Reporter: Jagadish Prasath Ramu
By default, the report form checkstyle prints the errors as it is found from
beginning to end of file i.e.,
e.g:
Line 5: Unused import
Line 10: Missing space etc.,
Instead, it would be better if the report is printed in the reverse order
e.g:
Line 10: Missing space etc.,
Line 5: Unused import.
As we fix the issues one by one, we end up changing the code and the line
number changes It results in missing the exact line number in which the
remaining errors has occurred. So, we end up running the checkstyle multiple
times. Instead, if there is an option to print the results in descending order
(of a file's line number), it might help to avoid this inconvenience.
