Dennis Lundberg commented on MCHECKSTYLE-252:
---------------------------------------------
I've had a look at the attached project and here are my findings on it.
{noformat}
COPYING
COPYING.LESSER
{noformat}
These are included by Checkstyle because they are defined as resources in the
POM.
{code:xml}
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>false</filtering>
</resource>
<resource>
<targetPath>META-INF</targetPath>
<filtering>false</filtering>
<directory>${basedir}</directory>
<includes>
<include>COPYING</include>
<include>COPYING.LESSER</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
{code}
This is because of the fix for MCHECKSTYLE-70. A work-around for your problem
is available at

{noformat}
target/generated-classes/cobertura/cobertura.properties
{noformat}
This file I'm not sure why it is included, but I suspect that Cobertura has
something to to with it, beacause it alters the classpath of the project.
To summarize, Maven Checkstyle Plugin 2.13 does not include non-source files in
the check, but it does include more sources than version 2.12.
> 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
> {noformat}$ mvn site{noformat}
> now includes non-source files in its checks, e.g.
> {noformat}COPYING
> COPYING.LESSER
> target/generated-classes/cobertura/cobertura.properties{noformat}
> 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.
