Maven Checkstyle Website

this question seems pretty common, but I really couldn't get it to work from existing answers. I have a simple maven project without any complicated configuration for deployment, etc. And you want to create a Maven CheckStyle report when you get to the "mvn site".

My pom.xml looks like this:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>mygroup</groupId> <artifactId>TestProjekt</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>jar</packaging> <name>TestProjekt</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> </properties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <reporting> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.6</version> <configuration> <configLocation>mychecks.xml</configLocation> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting> </project>

I have mychecks.xml in the project root directory (next to pom.xml). The problem is that when I am on the "mvn site" nothing happens at all (except for maven, writing a few lines about BUILD SUCCESS). I read that I need to place mychecks.xml in a directory called "resources" or something like that, but that didn't work either.

Does anyone have a clue what to do so that the "mvn site" generates a checkstyle rport (and where to find it)? Any help was appreciated.

Well, no wonder it didn't work! The maven plugin docs are really outdated (and rather scarce). I wonder why they don’t even put a marker on their site, that the information is out of date when changing important configuration parameters.

You can find the real configuration for Maven 3 and CheckStyle at http://www.torsten-horn.de/techdocs/maven.htm#Site-Project-Reports-Mvn3

It is German, but just ignore it. XML speaks for itself.

It looks like your problem is not related to the maven checkstyle plugin in the same way as fulfilling the site goal in maven 3 . There are versions of different site plugins for generating site information for maven 2 and maven 3 and the plugins page.

In fact, this wiki wiki page also talks about it.
