--------------------------------------

             Summary: Checkstyle incorrectly reports violation for missing new line at end of file on Windows
                 Key: OFBIZ-11428
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-11428
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tools
    Affects Versions: Trunk
            Reporter: Daniel Watford
            Assignee: Daniel Watford


If building on Windows with Ofbiz sources checked out from git using LF line endings rather than CRLF line endings checkstyle will report violations stating that source files do not end with a new line.

Issue is that when running on windows checkstyle assumes line endings to be made up for CRLF and looks for those two characters at the end of a file. If sources are checked out with LF line endings then only the LF character will be present at the end of the file, causing checkstyle to report the violation.

This can be resolved by specifying checkstyle use LF for line endings, meaning a newline at the end of a file will be detected correctly regardless of whether sources are checked out in CRLF or LF line ending mode.

Flagged as backport needed as fix will help track compliance of release sources without affecting Ofbiz functionality.
