Unable to initialize a new user defined check class

Hello everyone


This is my first post here. I just got started with Checkstyle. I wrote a
new Check and I'm trying to make it work using ant.

The following are the contents of my ant target:

<project name="checkstyle1" default="" basedir="."
xmlns:cs="antlib:com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle">
<target name="runCS">
<cs:checkstyle
config="..\config\mychecks.xml" file="..\java\src\tools\SomeJavaFile.java"/>
    </target>
</project>

This what my config file contains:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE module PUBLIC
    "-//Puppy Crawl//DTD Check Configuration 1.2//EN"
    "http://www.puppycrawl.com/dtds/configuration_1_2.dtd">

<module name="Checker">
    <module name="TreeWalker">
        <module name="ManualSteps"/>
    </module>

</module>

I get the following error when I run ant runCS -verbose

runCS:

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
