To publish [CheckStyle|http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net] report, you only need two steps:
# Generate CheckStyle *XML* report from [Ant|http://ant.apache.org] or [Maven|http://maven.apache.org] or any other build tool.
# Add Checkstyle publish step by choosing _Publish -> CheckStyle Report_ from the step menu.

h2. Generate CheckStyle Report

QuickBuild will NOT generate [CheckStyle|http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net] report automatically, so first make sure the CheckStyle report is produced by [ANT|http://ant.apache.org] or by any other build tool. The following example shows how to generate CheckStyle XML report by [Ant JUnit task|http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/junit.html]:
{code:xml|title= CheckStyle target in build.xml}
<target name="checkstyle" description="Check coding style">
<taskdef resource="checkstyletask.properties">
<classpath refid="path.lib"/>
</taskdef>
<checkstyle config="checkstyle_checks.xml">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
<formatter type="xml"/> <!-- DO use xml formatter -->
</checkstyle>
</target>
{code}
After adding the target above, generate the XML report for your source code, and you can tell QuickBuild to publish the results.

h2. Publish CheckStyle Report

Just like all other [build reports|Publish Build Reports], to add CheckStyle report, just follow [adding a publish step|Working With Step] in a [configuration|Working with Configurations]. When you add publish CheckStyle Report step, the following screen will be displayed:

In source report files field, QuickBuild uses Ant style file patterns to collect the reports, and the directory you specified is *relative* to the [workspace|Configuration Workspace] directory.

QuickBuild will analyze the CheckStyle report and it will generate the Overview/Details after each build, and it also will generate the statistics for the reports.
