Description

The FileTabCharacter check doesnt seem to work. Below is my config:

<module name="Checker">
..
..
<!-- No TAB characters in the source code -->
<module name="FileTabCharacter">
    <property name="eachLine" value="true" />
    <property name="fileExtensions" value="java,xml" />
</module>
..
..
<module name="TreeWalker">
..
..
</module>
</module>

I have my xml files - pom.xml and checkstyle config xml containing tabs but none of them are flagged as violations.

Some additional info - my plugin config looks like this:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.9.1</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>verify</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>check</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <configLocation>checkstyle/kepler-checkstyle-config.xml</configLocation>
                <suppressionsLocation>${project.parent.basedir}${file.separator}checkstyle/kepler-checkstyle-suppressions.xml</suppressionsLocation>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
