I just committed a change [1] that will cause ./gradlew build to skip things like checkstyle, findbugs, etc. To run the full build, you will need to run ./gradlew -Pq build. I've added a note on this in our developer doc [2]. Jenkins is configured to always run these checks.
Committers: as a best practice, please *always run the jenkins build script before pushing*! ./build-support/jenkins/build.sh [1] https://reviews.apache.org/r/21455/ [2] https://github.com/apache/incubator-aurora/blob/master/docs/developing-aurora-scheduler.md#running-the-build-with-code-quality-checks -=Bill
