Dipti Desai commented on MCHECKSTYLE-186: ----------------------------------------- Thanks for your help. I am still facing issues with it. I am not sure what I could be doing wrong here. {code} <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.9.1</version> <configuration> <includes>**/*.xml,**/*.java</includes> <sourceDirectory>${project.basedir}</sourceDirectory> <configLocation>checkstyle/kepler-checkstyle-config.xml</configLocation> <suppressionsLocation>${project.parent.basedir}${file.separator}checkstyle/kepler-checkstyle-suppressions.xml</suppressionsLocation> </configuration> </plugin>{code} In the <sourceDirectory> tag, I tried ${project.basedir} as well as ${project.parent.basedir} to make it look through all possible files but the XMLs are still not being flagged for containing tabs. Do you see something that I might be missing?
