Failure to load custom CheckStyle XML | Need Inputs

[shinjan sen]

Hi,
I was trying to integrate my custom checkstyle configuration XML into maven
build as follows:

<reporting>
 <plugins>
  <plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>2.0-alpha-2</version>
   <configuration>
         <configLocation>my_checkstyle_config.xml</configLocation>
         </configuration>
  </plugin>
 </plugins>
 </reporting>
<build>
 <extensions>
      <extension>
        <groupId>build-tools</groupId>
        <artifactId>build-tools</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
      </extension>
    </extensions>
 </build>

The artifact build tools has got the xml my_checkstyle_config.xml in its
resources folder.

The problem is that the output that I receive after execution of the command
'mvn site' is the same report thet gets generated from eclipse for the
default sun_checks.xml configuration. The mvn site command is not picking up
my custom checkstyle.

Any pointers to possible solutions would be of great help to me.

Many Thanks
Shinjan
