Dieter Vrancken commented on BUILDR-664:
----------------------------------------
Hi Peter, reading the documentation for their ant task, it looks like the
compile dependencies of the checked code are not actually needed by Checkstyle.
Also, all our build scripts over the past years ran Checkstyle without giving
it these dependencies. Checkstyle uses the source files only, no?
> Checkstyle addon extra_dependencies should not include compile/test libs by
> default

> Key: BUILDR-664
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-664
> Project: Buildr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Extensions
> Affects Versions: 1.4.10
> Reporter: Dieter Vrancken
> Priority: Minor
>
> The experimental Buildr::Checkstyle addon contains the following method:
> def extra_dependencies
> @extra_dependencies ||= [self.project.compile.dependencies,
> self.project.test.compile.dependencies].flatten
> end
> Also, checkstyle itself depends on an ancient version of google-collections
> library.
> We were bitten by this in that our code depends on a newer version of the
> guava library (successor to google-collections) in which a method used by
> checkstyle has been removed.
> Since checkstyle does not require access to the runtime dependencies of the
> code that is checked, I propose to make the default value of
> @extra_dependencies empty: [].
