Hi!
I just fixed up our checkstyle setup for our multi module project using
a different approach than mention on the site. Maybe this should be
included as a tip on the plugin site.
Here is what I did.
Our subversion repository is http browsable. So in my parent pom I got
<properties>
<repository>http://subversion1.cardiocomm.com/repository/bluebox/trunk</repository>
</properties>
....
<reporting>
<plugins>
<!-- Checkstyle report -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<configLocation>${repository}/ccs-checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
<headerLocation>${repository}/LICENSE.txt</headerLocation>
</configuration>
</plugin>
For the header file to work your checkstyle xml file has to contain
the property as below.
<module name="Header">
<property name="headerFile" value="${checkstyle.header.file}"/>
<property name="severity" value="info"/>
</module>
I found this a bit easier to setup than the proposed build tool
approach. I hope this helps.
