Checkstyle

The class path containing the Checkstyle library to be used.

The class path containing the compiled classes for the source files to be analyzed.

The Checkstyle configuration to use. Replaces the configFile property.

Path to other Checkstyle configuration files.

This path will be exposed as the variable config_loc in Checkstyle's configuration files.

The Checkstyle configuration file to use.

The properties available for use in the configuration file. These are substituted into the configuration file.

Enable the use of external DTD files in configuration files. Disabled by default because this may be unsafe. See Checkstyle documentation for more details.

The set of exclude patterns.

Whether the build should break when the verifications performed by this task fail.

The set of include patterns.

Java launcher used to start the worker process

The maximum number of errors that are tolerated before breaking the build or setting the failure property.

The maximum heap size for the worker process. If unspecified, a maximum heap size will be provided by Gradle. Supports units like the command-line option -Xmx such as "1g".

The maximum number of warnings that are tolerated before breaking the build or setting the failure property.

The minimum heap size for the worker process. When unspecified, no minimum heap size is set. Supports units like the command-line option -Xms such as "1g".

The reports to be generated by this task.

Whether rule violations are to be displayed on the console.

The source for this task, after the include and exclude patterns have been applied. Ignores source files which do not exist.

The PathSensitivity for the sources is configured to be PathSensitivity.ABSOLUTE. If your sources are less strict, please change it accordingly by overriding this method in your subclass.

The sources for this task are relatively relocatable even though it produces output that includes absolute paths. This is a compromise made to ensure that results can be reused between different builds. The downside is that up-to-date results, or results loaded from cache can show different absolute paths than would be produced if the task was executed.

Adds an exclude spec. This method may be called multiple times to append new specs.The given closure is passed a FileTreeElement as its parameter. The closure should return true or false. Example:

copySpec {
  from 'source'
  into 'destination'
  //an example of excluding files from certain configuration:
  exclude { it.file in configurations.someConf.files }
}

If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not match any exclude pattern to be processed.

Adds an ANT style exclude pattern. This method may be called multiple times to append new patterns and multiple patterns may be specified in a single call. If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not match any exclude pattern to be processed.

Adds an include spec. This method may be called multiple times to append new specs. The given closure is passed a FileTreeElement as its parameter. If includes are not provided, then all files in this container will be included. If includes are provided, then a file must match at least one of the include patterns or specs to be included.

Configures the reports to be generated by this task. The contained reports can be configured by name and closures. Example:

checkstyleTask {
  reports {
    html {
      destination "build/checkstyle.html"
    }
  }
}

Adds some source to this task. The given source objects will be evaluated as per Project.files(java.lang.Object[]).
