Checkstyle configLocation error

[jactor]

Hi!

I have configured maven to run a checkstyle when mvn site is used. Here is
the configuration:


<modules>
<module>children.project.jar</module>
...
</modules>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<configLocation>checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
<enableRulesSummary>true</enableRulesSummary>
</configuration>
</plugin>

However, it crashes when I use the config location. I have a main pom
projects which have the checkstyle.xml but it can not be found in the child
projects. Projects like this:

project.main.pom

checkstyle.xml is located in this folder...
children.project.jar

I went playing with my checkstyle configuration and modified the following:

<configLocation>../checkstyle.xml</configLocation>

Post by jactor
<configLocation>checkstyle.xml</configLocation>

I know have a system which runs with the correct checkstyle.xml :-D.

If I want to reuse this checkstyle xml in other projects, can I override the
current setting? I would like other main projects to have this main pom as
parent to enable common configuration.

You can see a way to bundle and share the config here:

end, I specifically talk about the checkstyle use)
