1261486 - Make checkstyle task more robust

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

After bug 1258769, we'll land checkstyle in tree. However, we should make it more robust by bug 1258769 comment 31:

Spoke on irc – we should try (in this order):
* use other plugins (e.g. https://github.com/noveogroup/android-check)
* Steal their file glob strategies (e.g. https://github.com/noveogroup/android-check/blob/master/android-check-plugin/src/main/groovy/com/noveogroup/android/check/checkstyle/CheckstyleCheck.groovy#L56)
* Try this thing (http://ncona.com/2015/01/enforce-android-coding-style-with-checkstyle/) – it's can break things since we're subtracting away Java functionality, however
