Great timing. I was just having the same problem. However, should the
checkstyle plugin simply pickup the project dependencies? That is, if I add
the jar file that contains my custom checks to a project's dependencies
list, shouldn't the checkstyle plugin find the checks? After all, the
checkstyle plugin does use maven.dependency.classpath to setup the
checkstyle classpath. For some reason this doesn't seem to work. I also
tried the suggestion below, and that doesn't seem to work either. Both
approaches result in the following failure for me:
checkstyle:report:
checkstyle:run:
[echo] Using file:checkstyle.xml for checkstyle ...
