Checkstyle with Gradle

30 January 2018

Get a checkstyle.xml and; e.g. from SUN and place in your gradle-project under config/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml.

Now add the following to your build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'checkstyle'

checkstyle {
    showViolations = true
    ignoreFailures = false
}

Run with it with gradle check.

If there are violations, a HTML-report will be written to build/reports/checkstyle.
