-----------------------------------------

             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.
