• --outdir: The directory where the checkstyle report is to be stored. The default is ./style-report.

The report is generated in the file outdir/index.html in case of "html" format or outdir/style-report.txt in case of "text" format. The "console" mode can be used to interact with tools that analyse the output of the console like the DLTK tools of Eclipse. The xml output can be used with tools like the Hudson/Jenkins violations plugin. If multiple formats are selected, they should be separated with a comma.
