There are still a couple of features in the plugin that don't work, I think that if it isn't functionally complete, it should be beta. (The properties don't seem to work correctly, which is the root cause of not being able to use the cacheFile setting)

The only important issue open is how to share configuration files in a multi-project build: actually that can easily be done by using a shared file with relative paths or an url, but the tip of using a dependency containing build tools doesn't work at all and can't be used for reports (the plugin element in the reporting section of pom doesn't support per-plugin dependencies). Did you see the recent commit mails about that topic? Anyway, that issue is generic to any plugin that have to share a configuration file in a multi-module build; the checkstyle plugin now works fine and important classloader issues have been fixed so it surely deserves a non-beta release. fabrizio --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
