> Since [version 3.5|http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/releasenotes.html#Release%203.5], Checkstyle allows to configure the encoding used to read source files (somehow weird, they included this setting in the XML config which limits reusability among unrelated projects). Unless this is specified by the user via the [charset property|http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config.html#TreeWalker], it defaults to the system property "file.encoding". This makes the checks platform-dependent and possibly fail. For reproducible builds, the encoding should be locked down.
