hallo the trick is to reference the checkstyle config as a dependency and not directly as a file.
there are some hints at: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html we created a module containing only the checkstyle config. the parent pom then gets this checkstyle-plugin configuration with a dependency to that artifact. that should work :) good luck regards ossi tim tim schrieb: > hello > > i have a simple multimodule project > > pom.xml > | > proj1---- pom.xml > | > proj2----pom.xml > > in the main pom.xml: > <modules> > <module>proj1<module> > <module>proj2<module> > <modules> > > > proj2 depends on proj1. > > <dependency> > <groupId>myComp</groupId> > <artifactId>proj1</artifactId> > <version>0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> > </dependency> > > > this dependency is resolved correctly when i call > > mvn test > > or when i open the projects via m2eclipse > > but when i call > > mvn checkstyle:checkstyle > > the checkstyle plugin creates correct reports for proj1 > > but when it tries to work on proj2 i get the following error: > > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [ERROR] BUILD ERROR > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact. > > Missing: > ---------- > 1) myComp:proj1:jar:0.1-SNAPSHOT > > > it tries to load the missing dependency from a repository instead of using the > files in the other submodule like the test and the compile plugins do. > > i can not imagine that i have to deploy all jars before i use checkstyle? > > how do i use checkstyle for multimodule projects? > > > > thanks, tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
