Embedded error: Cannot set property 'charset' in module Checker to 'UTF-8,UTF-8': UTF-8,UTF-8

Hi Harald,

We need more info to be able tell what is wrong. Please supply the smallest sample project you can that shows your problem. It might have to do with your Checkstyle configuration, so please include that to. You can also try to build your project using one of the standard Checkstyle configurations, to see if you still get this error.

I have the same problem using this configuration. If I comment out <property name="charset" value="UTF-8"/> checkstyle don't bark at me.

I didn't look at the code or anything, but given the error message I think the plugin appends the project's default encoding to whatever encoding the charset property holds. To prove myself I've modified the above configuration by changing the charset to ISO-8859-1, in which case the error message I received changed to "blabla 'ISO-8859-1,UTF-8' blabla". Hope it helped.

This is because of the fix in MCHECKSTYLE-152. It will only happen if you configure the charset property in your checkstyle configuration file. In version 2.9 the plugin adds the Maven project's encoding to the Checkstyle configuration, after the configuration file has been read. I'll try to tweak this so that the plugin won't add the encoding if it already exists.

I've deployed a 2.9.1-SNAPSHOT version. Can you please give it a try and test that it fixes this issue for you?

No errors are reported using the snapshot. Thanks!

Hi Dennis Lundberg and Kohányi Róbert. Thanks for the support. Today I had a problem with our proxy server to get to the snapshot repo. I'll tried but can't get the snapshot jar. I'll try it tomorrow. But I believe Kohányi Róbert that is works. Thanks for your quick reaction.

Kohányi,

Thanks for testing. I'll give Harald tomorrow to test as well, and if all is well I'll push a fix release out.

Hello Dennis,

I've test it and problem is solved.

Thanks a lot.

Fixed in r1291005 and r1291009.
