[jira] Created: (MCHECKSTYLE-111) More information on issue: "Got an exception - java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get class information for [exception]"

More information on issue: "Got an exception - java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get class information for [exception]"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MCHECKSTYLE-111
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-111
             Project: Maven 2.x Checkstyle Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.2
         Environment: Windows Vista Business (x64), Windows XP (x86), Windows 2003 Server (x86)
Apache Maven 2.1.0 (r755702; 2009-03-18 20:10:27+0100) and Maven 2.0.10
Java version: 1.6.0_13
            Reporter: Michael Grossniklaus
            Priority: Blocker
         Attachments: maven-checkstyle-plugin.zip, output.txt

This bug report provides more insight on the situations in which the maven-checkstyle-plugin is unable to get the class information for exceptions that are declared by the project. This report is, therefore, a refinement of prior bug reports such as MPCHECKSTYLE-1, MPCHECKSTYLE-20, or MCHECKSTYLE-54. We believe, however, that through a more in-depth study of the problem we can provide a narrower definition of the problem that, hopefully, will result in it resolution.

Our experiments have shown that the maven-checkstyle-plugin fails for classes or interfaces that contain method signatures with a "throws" clause pointing to exception defined by both the project and elsewhere. This is demonstrated by the interface "ch.ethz.globis.demo.Demo" contained in the attached demo project.
{{
public interface Demo {

   void foo() throws DemoException, IOException, FileNotFoundException;

   void foofoo() throws DemoException;

   void bar() throws IOException, FileNotFoundException, IllegalArgumentException;

}
}}
If the command "mvn checkstyle:check" is executed in the project, it will fail with one checkstyle violation. If, however, the method "foo()" is commented (or removed), everything works fine. Note that method "foofoo()" which *only* declares "ch.ethz.globis.demo.DemoException" is unproblematic as well as method "bar()" which declares a set of exceptions that are declared outside the project. Hence, the conclusion is that it is the combination of *both* project and outside-project exceptions that make the maven-checkstyle-plugin fail. Note that we have run maven on clean installation (where the local repository has been removed first) to produce a reproducible error.

The attached zip file contains both the demo project that can be used to reproduce the error as well as the output of the "mvn checkstyle:check" command under "target". We also provide the file "output.txt" that documents the console output of the command. If further documentation is required, do not hesitate to contact me. We hope that by providing this information we can contribute to the resolution of said issue, once and for all.

Niraj Tolia commented on MCHECKSTYLE-111:
-----------------------------------------

We ran into this at work too. Evidently checkstyle, if run on uncompiled code, will not be able to find your custom exceptions. With compiled code (what we usually do), it looks like things should be OK unless your error originates from a dependency that is marked with a test scope. In our project, junit currently is marked as being in the test scope but that is where the InitializationError Exception comes from and what triggered the bug for us. It should be possible to fix this by pointing checkstyle to the right dependency but I am not completely sure how.

----------------------------------

Is there some activity on this topic? I can find similar error reports from years back - it looks like either this bug is very hard to track down, or it's simply not worked on :) I, and I think many others, would be very grateful to see this issue removed
Thanks
