How to use Checkstyle plugin in Jenkins/Hudson

Question

I am interested to know how to use CheckStyle.

I am doing static code analysis in Hudson, as first part, I installed Static Analyser and CheckStyle plugins in Hudson. But I am not able to find out how to use it in official Hudson checkstyple page also.

official page : http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Checkstyle+Plugin

If you can show me a step by step procedure, that is more helpful to me.

Answer 1

Posting this as an answer per request:

You need to run CheckStyle as part of your build job; Hudson just displays the results from your build. Here is documentation for the Ant task and the Maven plugin.

Answer 2

In the Hudson build job configuration screen you should find a checkbox that turns on Checkstyle. You don't need to change your Maven scripts. I don't know if Ant scripts would need adjustment as we always use Maven.
