Re: problems running checkstyle from ant

In my current project, here is how I declare Checkstyle:

    <path id="checkstyle.classpath">
      <pathelement
          location="build/tools/checkstyle/checkstyle-all-4.3.jar"
          />
    </path>
    <taskdef resource="checkstyletask.properties">
      <classpath refid="checkstyle.classpath"/>
    </taskdef>

And then to invoke it I use:

    <checkstyle config="${config.dir}/checkstyle/checkstyle-rules.xml"
                failOnViolation="false"
                failureProperty="checkstyle.has.failed"
                >
        <!-- detail ommitted -->
    </checkstyle>

I suggest using the *checkstyle-all-4.3.jar* file.

I'd also check that you do not have other copies of Checkstyle in your
classpath. Be sure to check the ANT lib directory.
