for multi-modules like mine and yours, this worked great:

thanks, I took the config param out (pointing to the checks file) and it works. The problem is that we have many modules and a new checkstyle config file gets created on the fly and put into each subdirectory. I suppose it is hardcoded in the jar or something to generate one. I suppose all of these config files are the same and can take one of them to use as a template. Ultimately I want all modules to use the same configuration file and not generate one as it is running and put it in the target/ directory. I need to figure this one out. Would also like to figure out how to create one html report for all modules. Right now it creates separate xml files for each module. Would you know what setting I could use to generate html reports instead of xml? I did not see a setting the maven docs. thanks Si'mon Thanks Si'mon jason r tibbetts wrote: > > Si_Simon wrote: >> So I configured my pom to use the checkstyle plugin. >> It is looking for the configuration files.
