-----------------------------------------
Summary: Version 2.13 includes non-source files in checks
Key: MCHECKSTYLE-252
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-252
Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.13
Reporter: Michael Heuer
Updating maven-checkstyle-plugin to version 2.13 and running
$ mvn site
now includes non-source files in its checks, e.g.
COPYING
COPYING.LESSER
target/generated-classes/cobertura/cobertura.properties
While it is rather amusing to have checkstyle complain that COPYING (the text
of the GNU General Public License) doesn't include a license header, it seems
that the default source root or one of the other properties new to version 2.13
does not have an appropriate default value. The target directory should also
be excluded by default.
