Disable maven checkstyle

Question

I want to execute a maven target but checkstyle errors forbids that. I have no time right now to correct checkstyle error (my checkstyle rules have been recently updated and I can't handle all of them right now).

Is there a way to disable checkstyle operation and execute my goal anyway ?

Answer 1

Solution is : mvn [target] -Dcheckstyle.skip.

I like this solution as it is temporary and do not require editing of pom files, or anything that can be versioned.

Answer 2

RandomCoders answer is the preferred one.

If you want to disable checkstyle from your pom, you can add the checkstyle plugin to the pom and set the skip flag to prevent the check.

<plugin>     <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>     <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>     <configuration>         <skip>true</skip>     </configuration> </plugin>
