Configure maven-checkstyle hook
Wondering if there's a way to pass checkstyle rules xml file as a parameter to the hook
Hi @patilarpith, parametrisation is not available because you can configure the location of the rules file through the property configLocation on the POM file. Although, the hook "maven" gives the flexibility to configure anything you want.
@ejba Does that mean the checkstyle check is run on the entire project, not just for the files staged for commit?
The library is not aware of the "git" context where it is inserted, only runs the configured commands. So, it always runs upon the entire project. Eventually, I will adapt give support to run only on staged files (or on modules with staged files) but I cannot promise when I will add this because I do not have spare time that I can spend. That is why I giving you those options for now.
