Hi David,

 

There seems to be a bug in the checkstyle plugin. See
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1113

Subject: [m2] correct usage of the checkstyle plugin

 


I am trying to get checkstyle to use a customised format contained in a file
called checkstyle-src.xml 

i have found however when i configure the checkstyle property called
'propertiesFile' this has no effect - i still get the default checks. 

if i specify a file that does not exist i get an error (which is fair
enough) but any edits i make to that file have no effect on the execution of
checkstyle 

this has come up because i am running checkstyle with one fomrat on the main
code base and a more relaxed checkstyle on the test source 

but no matter what i set the propertiesFile to, if it's a valid file then i
get the default checks all the time. 

am i setting the right property? 

the build section of my pom.xm looks like this:
