Brent Ryan commented on MCHECKSTYLE-252: ---------------------------------------- I want to add that this also seems to have caused checkstyle to include target/generated-sources and there doesn't appear to be anyway to exclude it. This is pretty huge because it means we can't use checkstyle at all for Java8 projects. > 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 > Components: checkstyle:checkstyle > Affects Versions: 2.13 > Reporter: Michael Heuer > Fix For: 2.14 > > Attachments: mcheckstyle-252.tar.gz > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
