Summary: checkstyle:check should invoke the execution of this plugin's goal "checkstyle" prior to executing itself Key: MCHECKSTYLE-314 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-314 Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 2.17 Reporter: Roman Ivanov I run into problem with using checkstyles goal "checkstyle:check" in sevntu.checkstyle project (https://github.com/sevntu-checkstyle/sevntu.checkstyle/blob/master/sevntu-checks/pom.xml#L75) as it always use default sun config when I run "checkstyle:check", It took me a while to figure out why that does not work. I had a habit and convenience to run in such a ways pmd and findbug, just "mvn pmd:check", "mvn findbug:check" it is human friendly. PMD and Findbugs plugins already do this: http://gleclaire.github.io/findbugs-maven-plugin/check-mojo.html https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/check-mojo.html search for "Invokes the execution of this plugin's goal" vs http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/check-mojo.html Problem was also raised at : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11106767/maven-checkstylecheck-not-working Please add support of this, most users are not professionals in Maven. I use Maven for many years and it took me too much time to find a reason why it does not work. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
