I don't remember which version of Checkstyle is used in which maven- checkstyle-plugin by default (you can change it)
and if current Checkstyle documentation explains about this property [1], there is no @since to know when it was introduced What we can do at maven level is probably add a version table to document version history, since this is a recurrent need I created MCHECKSTYLE-290 [2] to track the issue HELP WANTED!!! It would be great if someone could do the history walk-through to prepare a documentation patch: I promise I'll merge it :) Regards, Hervé [1] http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_blocks.html#EmptyCatchBlock [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-290 Le vendredi 10 avril 2015 12:38:56 Mark Derricutt a écrit : > Hey all, > > I was just adding a bunch of rules to my checkstyle configuration and they > all seem to trigger the error: > > Failed during checkstyle configuration: cannot initialize module TreeWalker > - Property 'excludes' in module GenericWhitespace does not exist, please > check the documentation -> [Help 1] > > This is with 2.15 and 2.14 of the check style plugin, is the plugin > generating bad config for the version of check style used? > > Out of the rules I added, these ones give the above error: > > <module name="GenericWhitespace" /> > <module name="NoWhitespaceAfter" /> > <module name="MissingDeprecated"/> > <module name="MissingOverride"/> > <module name="PackageAnnotation"/> > <module name="AnnotationLocation"/> > <module name="EmptyBlock"/> > <module name="EmptyCatchBlock"> > <property name="exceptionVariableName" value="expected|ignore"/> > </module> > <module name="LeftCurly"/> > <module name="NeedBraces"/> > <module name="RightCurly"/> > <module name="AvoidNestedBlocks"/> > > I suspect either I've done something wrong, or there's a generic bug in the > check style plugin? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
