Vincent Privat commented on MCHECKSTYLE-323:
--------------------------------------------
We have a project com.xxx.yyy that requires JAVA_HOME to be set to Java 7 and
still want to use the latest version of Checkstyle available with Eclipse (7.3
at this time).
In order to do it we tried this configuration to use a jdk8 toolchain:
{code:xml}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.17</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.xxx.yyy</groupId>
<artifactId>yyy-checkstyle</artifactId>
<version>2.7.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.puppycrawl.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>checkstyle</artifactId>
<version>7.3</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<configuration>
<configLocation>conf/checkstyle/checkstyle_config_maven.xml</configLocation>
<packageNamesLocation>checkstyle_packages.xml</packageNamesLocation>
<suppressionsLocation>conf/checkstyle/src/main/resources/checkstyle_suppressions.xml</suppressionsLocation>
<toolchains>
<jdk><version>[1.8,)</version></jdk>
</toolchains>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
Buut it doesn't seem to work. I don't know if my configuration is wrong, or if
the plugin is not toolchain-aware?
> usage of checkstyle 7.0 (jdk8 is required)
