Cannot initialize module TreeWalker during the build in Eclipse

Question

I'm performing Project-Clean... in Eclipse Mars and getting the following error

   Errors occurred during the build.
     Errors running builder 'Checkstyle Builder' on project 'MyProject'.
        cannot initialize module TreeWalker - Unable to instantiate 
        'RedundantThrows' class, it is also not possible to instantiate it as

        com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.RedundantThrows. Please recheck that class name 
        is specified as canonical name or read how to configure short name usage 
        http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config.html#Packages. Please also recheck that 
        provided ClassLoader to Checker is configured correctly.

The CheckStyle plugin version is 6.11. Could you please help me figuring out what may cause this error. Thanks.

Answer 1

The RedundantThrows check has been removed from Checkstyle. Just remove the <module> entry for it from your checkstyle.xml.
