I use checkstyle to analyze my code. A useful rule is PackageHtml, that checks, if a package contains a Javadoc-description. But with newer java-version it’s recommended to use package-info.java instead of package.html. Problem is, checkstyle ignores the package-info.java and reports a rule violation. How can checkstyle be configured to check for package-documentation, but accepts package.html and package-info.java?

    What version of CheckStyle are you using ?

    It seems to be an old bug closed late 2007.

    Actually, the documentation mentions package-info as being the default!… but only with CheckStyle 5.x, not 4.4

    The announce for CheckStyle5.0 beta1 is here.
    CheckStyle 4.4 is the last one compatible with jdk1.4
