Seth Gottlieb commented on MPCHECKSTYLE-20: ------------------------------------------- I have had this problem (using Ant) too and setting the path did not fix. It appears that the issue is that it cannot handle multiple @throws. I had @throws ServletException, IOException. When I changed it to just ServletException it worked fine. The major hint for me was that the error message had a comma on the end: 'Unable to get class information for @throws tag 'javax.servlet.ServletException,' > Unable to get class information for custom exceptions > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MPCHECKSTYLE-20 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPCHECKSTYLE-20 > Project: Maven 1.x Checkstyle Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.3 > Environment: maven-1.0-rc2 > Reporter: Ryan Sonnek > > checkstyle reports an error "Unable to get class information" for custom > exceptions within the same project. it is able to load exceptions that are > listed as dependencies for the project, but not for other exceptions. one > workaround is to only use throws Exception in the signiture, but that's > really a hack. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
