We have our own checkstyle config with some file referenzens. I tried to use them with
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <configLocation>${basedir}/../../checks.xml</configLocation> <propertyExpansion> header.regexp.file=${basedir}/../../header_regexp.txt </propertyExpansion> </configuration> </plugin> this part of the pom is located in a supproject. Without the ${basedir} Maven didn't find the file header_regexp.txt if I call mvn site from the parent project. The ${basedir}-solution works fine on Unix (AIX) but fails on windows, where the directory separator is missed: Embedded error: Error rendering Maven report: Failed during checkstyle configuration d:ckkckk_nextTCdevcommonaxis\..\..\header_regexp.txt regards, carsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
