Get Android gradle plugin & checkstyle working together / command line usage

Question

I\'m evaluating the ability of the new gradle-based build system to reproduce our current ant-based build process and, as a gradle beginner, I failed to get checkstyle runni

Answer 1

I found by digging on the web that the Android plugin depends on java-base and not java (i.e. the sourceSets management is specific) and the checkstyle plugin rely on java. As a consequence, some gradle upstream modification are needed to get the thing done. The gradle team is working on that, as seen on twitter:

@anzix Android source sets will be soon understood by the generic code quality plugins. Work on that has already started.
