Mike, If you're using eclipse, checkstyle has a plugin that you can install. Point the plugin to the style file in tools/checkstyle/cloud-style.xml and it will use the same syntax. I've always found it much easier to use the plugin than to read the build outputs.
If you don't want to install the plugin, I don't think your log copy didn't include the actual errors. You might want to look further up or down on your console to see what's the violation. --Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Tutkowski [mailto:mike.tutkow...@solidfire.com] > Sent: Thursday, January 9, 2014 9:49 AM > To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org > Subject: Unfamiliar with checkstyle > > Hi, > > I was merging some code from 4.3 to master and received three checkstyle > errors. > > I'm not really familiar with how to find out details of these errors.
