Upgrade Doxia's checkstyle to version 5.x, and make it immediately useable
within IDEs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DOXIA-457
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DOXIA-457
Project: Maven Doxia
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Lennart Jörelid
Attachments: doxia_checkstyle_5.xml
The src/main/resources/config/doxia_checkstyle.xml document is tailored for
checkstyle version 4.x.
Some incompatible alterations were done in the upgrade from checkstyle version
4 to 5
(refer to http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/releasenotes.html for changes),
implying that anyone
running IDEs or by other means running checkstyle version 5+ will crash and
burn.
Moreover, the checkstyle document really ought to be directly usable within an
IDE - or we should provide
some documentation on what needs to be done to make it run within IDEs. (More
specifically, which properties
should be defined within the IDE and which values they should have). In
particular, the RegexpHeader
{code:xml}
<module name="RegexpHeader">
<property name="headerFile" value="${checkstyle.header.file}"/>
</module>
{code}
... requires a property value, referring to a file not present within the doxia
VCS tree. We should really make maven download the jar containing the header
file template,
and expand it. This would facilitate its proper use within IDEs.
I'll attach a raw, initial attempt at a checkstyle 5.x-compliant version of the
doxia_checkstyle.xml
