Checkstyle SuppressionCommentFilter not ignoring s

Question

I have a checkstyle.xml that looks something like this:

<module name="Checker">
    ....

    <module name="SuppressionCommentFilter">
        <property name="offCommentFormat" value="CSOFF\: ([\w\|]+)"/>
        <property name="onCommentFormat" value="CSON\: ([\w\|]+)"/>
        <property name="checkFormat" value="$1"/>
    </module>

    <module name="TreeWalker">
        <module name="LineLength">
            <property name="max" value="200"/>
        </module>
        ....
    </module>
</module>

In one of my classes, I have a line longer than 200 characters and put the following around it:

// CSOFF: LineLength
...
// CSON: LineLength

The line in question however is not ignored as part of checkstyle.

I have specified the following in the pom.xml:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.6</version>
            <configuration>
                <configLocation>checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

and executing this:

mvn checkstyle:checkstyle

Have you configured FileContentsHolder as documented?

<module name="TreeWalker">
    ...
    <module name="FileContentsHolder"/>
    ...
</module>
