Question

I’d like the Checkstyle rules in Eclipse match the rules when my Maven build runs on Jenkins.

How do I go about that?

Thanks.

[edit]

So I exported the checkstyle settings in eclipse to a new XML file in the project folder and pointed the maven checkstyle plugin at that with

<plugin>
 <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>2.6</version>
 <configuration>
    <configLocation>checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
 </configuration>
</plugin>

You will have to export your eclipse checkstyle settings into a file and configure your Jenkin (/Hudson) checkstyle plugin to use the same configuration file.
