the README.html coming with jbcheckstyle_2.4.1.zip states:
"To load a properties file add the following: [...] to:
/lib/ext/jbchecktyle.config"
but it should read: jbcheckstyle.config (missing "s");
if you use this filename for copy and paste (like me),
you end up with the properties being igonred for no
obvious reason.
