Sean Smith commented on MCHECKSTYLE-133:
----------------------------------------

Arg, just spent several hours trying to figure out why when I upgraded from 2.3 to 2.5 suddenly my checkstyle.xml file was no longer found. I finally found the work around here and it works but sure wish I'd found this earlier...

>                 Key: MCHECKSTYLE-133
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-133
>             Project: Maven 2.x Checkstyle Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.5
>         Environment: Windows XP
> JDK 1.6.0_18
> Maven 2.2.1
> Maven checkstyle 2.5
>            Reporter: Vernat

> Regression: With maven checkstyle plugin 2.5, the config file is not found anymore at the root of the current project with <configLocation>checkstyle.xml</configLocation>.
> It was found with maven checkstyle plugin 2.4.
> This issue is similar to issue MCHECKSTYLE-131 but I do not have a parent project.
> Steps to reproduce:
> Checkout current version from http://code.google.com/p/javamelody/source/browse/#svn/trunk/javamelody-core
> Run the goal checkstyle:checkstyle : ok with 2.5 because pom.xml includes ${basedir}
> Remove "${basedir}/" from configLocation (the config file is in the root dir beside pom.xml)
> Run the goal checkstyle:checkstyle : config file not found with 2.5 !
> Add <version>2.4</version> for maven-checkstyle-plugin
> Run the goal checkstyle:checkstyle : ok with 2.4
> I think that a lot of users are concerned by this issue, for example because the eclipse checkstyle plugin write the default local config file to .checkstyle.xml in the root of the project, or for example because all versions that I know of the maven pmd plugin and the maven checkstyle plugin prior to version 2.5 does found the config file at the root of the project.
> I do note that there is no warning in checkstyle documentation to explain that our pom.xml files need change of configLocation to use version 2.5.
> Thanks
