[jira] (MCHECKSTYLE-252) Version 2.13 includes non-source files in checks

["Brent Ryan (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

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.

> 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.
