-------------------------------------
{quote}how do you expect to render that information?{quote}
My opinion would be to have the ruleset path on the top of "checkstyle.html" be
a link to the XML document. Just like it does for the java code in the xref
directory, the XML view will just be pure text with line numbers on the left
side.
The XML view could be fancier, like the "Rules" section on "checkstyle.html",
but I still think a raw view needs to be available, but again thats just me.
> Include config in checkstyle site results
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: MCHECKSTYLE-308
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-308
> Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: checkstyle:checkstyle
> Affects Versions: 2.16
> Environment: Windows 7, Eclipse Kepler SR2
> Reporter: richard
> Priority: Minor
>
> When running "mvn site" to create a checkstyle report of code, it includes
> the file location of the configuration file it is running with, but it
> doesn't include the physical configuration in the report.
> Example: http://rnveach.github.io/checkstyle/checkstyle.html
> "The following document contains the results of Checkstyle 6.11-SNAPSHOT with
> D:\Rickys\Java\checkstyleWorkspaceEclipse\contribution\checkstyle-tester\my_check.xml
> ruleset."
> When showing this report to others as a proof of some fix, especially over
> the internet, it would be worth it to include the configuration in the
> reports to verify that they are using the correct checks and to be able to
> reproduce any warning/errors they have with their code.
> To the viewers of the report, a mis-configured configuration file can look
> the same as a properly configured one with no errors/warnings.
> It is also possible to use a local configuration on the hard drive, instead
> of a global one, which will hide the settings of the configuration and not
> provide a visualization of its contents at the time the report was run.
