Thanks for the hint, Dan, this actually works perfectly! I wasn't aware of this way to specify the JAR. It would be worth updating the documentation of the Checkstyle plugin. I will create a JIRA issue for this.
FYI, Jason, yes, I've executed the test project on the bane of your existence ;-) - Windows XP with Java 1.5.0_06 - Windows 2k with Java 1.4.2_02 So even if this way of using the build extension is deprecated, I think this remains a bug on Windows. Anyways, everything works fine now. So here is my (non-binding) +1 :-) Fabrice. On 2/12/07, Daniel Kulp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Just FYI: we (CXF team) put our checkstyle rules into a jar bundle and use that. However, we don't put it in the extensions. We put it as a direct dependency for the plugin: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId> <artifactId>cxf-buildtools</artifactId> <version>..... </version> </dependency> </dependencies> ...... <plugin> and that works fine with 2.0.5.
