NoSuchMethodError when running Checkstyle 5.5 in Play 2.2 project?

I previously had Checkstyle implemented as an sbt task in Play 2.1. As of Play 2.2, I get the following error:

[error] (*:checkstyle) java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:  com.google.common.collect.ImmutableSortedSet.of([Ljava/lang/Comparable;)Lcom/google/common/collect/ImmutableSortedSet;

A simple Play project illustrating this problem in detail is available here.

Can anyone provide insight into how to fix this problem?

Solution

  • The problem, as Robin Green notes, is due an unfixed bug in the implementation of the JavadocStyleCheck. Removing that check from the configuration XML file fixes the problem.
