[hibernate-dev] [Search] New checkstyle classes working in IDE

[Hardy Ferentschik]

Hi,

I am wondering whether anyone can use the checkstyle plugin after HSEARCH-1326 and the introduction of our own custom Checkstyle Checks (Eclipse or Idea)?
I have been using the Idea Checkstyle plugin and that worked just fine. But since the latest changes I get the following exception:

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/checks/regexp/CommentSuppressor

This seems to be related - http://osdir.com/ml/java.audit.checkstyle.devel/2005-10/msg00036.html and suggests that there might be class loader issues.

I think it was a great idea to introduce checkstyle, but I think it really needs to work in the IDE as well. Obviously we always had problems
creating a formatting templates for Eclipse respective Idea which generate the same result. Since the introduction of Checkstyle that problem was
alleviated, since I could fix potential problem manually. Now we are back to square one.

If we cannot find a solution for this I vote for disabling these custom checks for now.
