Hello, You can run the build with -X it will give you the actual config parameters used for the plugin (especially includes/excludes/sourceDirectory) as well as a list of the (not) scanned resources.

This may be a checkstyle-specific problem, but I'll start with the maven checkstyle plugin. I'm integrating a large codebase into another larger project that has checkstyle standards. After I added the parent pom spec to the top-level pom and ran the build, I noticed it successfully built several subprojects, but then fail with a checkstyle error on one subproject, perhaps the 10th subproject. The error was in the verification of the license header. I carefully examined the license header in the file, and then compared it to the header in one file in one of the subprojects that didn't get an error. They were identical. I did a "diff" on them to be certain. All of the existing files in the codebase have the same license header. I thought the issue was that this file was failing and it shouldn't be failing. However, when I actually looked closer at the regexp that it said wasn't matching, I realized that that the actual issue was that the projects that passed the checkstyle test should NOT have passed, because the specified license template did not match the header in the files. I then looked at the pom file for the failing project and the first one that wasn't failing. Except for the artifact name, they were identical, except for the fact that the failing subproject has their source directory as "src" instead of "src/main/java" (I didn't write this). I looked carefully at the build output for the "passing" project, and it showed it executing the checkstyle plugin and reporting no errors. So before I fix all of these license headers to match their standard (or argue that the template is overly specific), I'd like to truly understand what's happening here. For details, here is the header from the file that is failing: ------------- /******************************************************************************* * Copyright (c) 2014, 2015 Cisco Systems, Inc. and others. All rights reserved. * * This program and the accompanying materials are made available under the * terms of the Eclipse Public License v1.0 which accompanies this distribution, * and is available at http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html * *******************************************************************************/ ------------------ And here is the "LICENSE.txt" file that is used for verification in the checkstyle configuration: ----------------------- ^/[*]+$ ^ \* Copyright (\([cC]\)|©) [0-9]{4}(, [0-9]{4})? .* All rights reserved.$ ^ \*( )?$ ^ \* This program and the accompanying materials are made available under the$ ^ \* terms of the Eclipse Public License v1.0 which accompanies this distribution,$ ^ \* and is available at http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html$ ^ [*]+/$ ---------------- As you can see (from careful inspection), the third line in the header has two spaces after the "*", but the template clearly only allows one. When I run the build in the project that is failing the check, it gives me the following, which I now understand to be "correct": ------------------- [INFO] --- maven-checkstyle-plugin:2.16:check (check-license) @ com.cisco.yangide.m2e.yang.tests --- [INFO] Starting audit... ..../src/com/cisco/yangide/m2e/yang/tests/YangGenerationTest.java:3: Line does not match expected header line of '^ \*( )?$'. Audit done. [INFO] There is 1 error reported by Checkstyle 6.2 with check-license.xml ruleset. [ERROR] src/com/cisco/yangide/m2e/yang/tests/YangGenerationTest.java[3] (header) RegexpHeader: Line does not match expected header line of '^ \*( )?$'. --------------------------- However, the following is the output I see for all the other subprojects, which are all in the build output before this failing one: -------------------- [INFO] --- maven-checkstyle-plugin:2.16:check (check-license) @ com.cisco.yangide.core --- [INFO] Starting audit...
