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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
