Thanks, Tom. That narrowed down the search to 1 in 500 lines, plus it gave me hope I was looking in the right place. I did not expect that checkstyle would be so user-unfriendly to mix together important error information with large amounts of routine "file foo checked out okay".

Anyone who has an account at jira.codhaus.org, please vote this up:
    http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-51
an unassigned, 6+ year old request to improve checkstyle reporting.

Notes on checkstyle, for the record:

Adding
-Dmaven.checkstyle.fail.on.violation=true -Dmaven.checkstyle.usefile=false to the mvn command line did not result in the checkstyle error being displayed in stdout/stderr.

failed. It contains the error message in a fairly readable form.

I'm building Whirr and see a checkstyle error, but the specific problem is
not presented in an easy to digest fashion, and 11,000 lines of checkstyle
output files is a bit much to sift through without knowing what to look for.

Clues?
