This plugin generates a nicely formatted Checkstyle report so code violations can be easily found and corrected.
To use older versions of the dashboard plugin (< 1.9) report with later versions of this one (> 2.5) you need to change these properties:
# Properties for the Checkstyle files aggregator
maven.dashboard.aggregator.csfiles.artifact = ${maven.build.dir}/checkstyle/checkstyle-raw-report.xml
# Properties for the Checkstyle error/warning aggregator (all errors/warnings)
maven.dashboard.aggregator.csall.artifact = ${maven.build.dir}/checkstyle/checkstyle-raw-report.xml
# Properties for the Checkstyle error aggregator (only errors)
maven.dashboard.aggregator.cserrors.artifact = ${maven.build.dir}/checkstyle/checkstyle-raw-report.xml
# Properties for the Checkstyle warning aggregator (only warnings)
maven.dashboard.aggregator.cswarnings.artifact = ${maven.build.dir}/checkstyle/checkstyle-raw-report.xml
