Emmanuel Lécharny opened MCHECKSTYLE-454 and commented
PS: also tested with 3.6.0 which has been released, but you haven't marked it as released in JIRA...
If the project I want to check is under a directory where a part of the path contain accents, like:
/user/elecharny/téléchargement/apache-sshd-2.15.9
then the checkstyle configuration file(in my case, sshd-checkstyle.xml) is either not found, or ignored.
If I rename téléchargement to download, all is fine.
Affects: 3.4.0, 3.5.0, 3.6.0
