--------------------------------------------
Just wanted to say I only have this issue with version 2.7, not 2.6
> Optional treeWalker.cacheFile property must not be required
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MCHECKSTYLE-159
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-159
> Project: Maven 2.x Checkstyle Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.6, 2.7
> Reporter: Karsten Tinnefeld
>
> Given a custom checkstyle configuration, checkstyle requires the property
> cacheFile to the TreeWalker module be configured, thus, the following
> configuration cannot go without the property line:
> <module name="Checker">
> [...]
> <module name="TreeWalker">
> <property name="cacheFile" value="$\{cachefile\}"/>
> [...]
> </module>
> [...]
> </module>
> In case it is omitted, the tool exits with the following stack trace
> (shortened, regarding version 2.6):
> [INFO] Error during page generation
> Embedded error: Error rendering Maven report: Failed during checkstyle
> execution
> missing key 'cacheFile' in TreeWalker
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [DEBUG] Trace
> org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Error during page
> generation

> org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoals(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:719)
> at

> Caused by: com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.api.CheckstyleException: missing

> Due to checkstyle documentation, the property is optional, and no cachefile
> will be used in case it is not specified (cf.
> http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config.html#TreeWalker). Also, cacheFile
> can be specified in the pom, thus it should be substituted anyway.
> Workaround:
> Add <configuration/>-Entry
> <propertyExpansion>
> cacheFile=${project.build.directory}/checkstyle-cachefile
> </propertyExpansion>
> and use the above property line and a special maven build version of the
> checkstyle configuration file.
