extension for checkstyle working

[Michael Fortin <mf...@monetizeit.com>]

Hi

I've been trying to get a custom checkstyle check to work but I get an 
error that checkstyle can't find my custom check.  I wrote a a script to 
run checkstyle by hand and it works so I know my check is correct.  My 
check is in my local repository and I can see it in the maven log output 
when I turn on debug.  I looked at checkstyles source and it's throwing 
either an InstantiationException or a IllegalAccessException in 
PackageObjectFactory but I can't tell because the stack trace is clipped 
off.  Checkstyle gets it's classloader from it's current thread, could 
it a a security issue?  I followed the directions from mavens site and 
I've seen a few references to using the full class name instead of just 
the abbreviation but with no resolution.  How do I get my custom check 
to work in maven?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
