Source code of the project can be found in [1].

Appreciate providing feedback about the reason.

Thanks a lot,

Ahmed

Please find a single file that cause a problem and reproduce problem by our CLI to avoid any maven plugin effects.

Thanks, posted as #2094.

As a side note, it would be better if checkstyle prints the offending file name, instead of having the users to build checkstyle with logging details.

Yours,

Ahmed

>> our CLI do report path to problematic file.

I have to argue this is not the case here:

>java -jar checkstyle-6.10.1-all.jar -c sun_checks.xml *.java
