I can't use CheckStyle at all (ver 6.9 nor 6.10); upon attempting to run it, I get an
IllegalAccessError
.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method org.apache.commons.cli.Options.getOptionGroups()Ljava/util/Collection; from class org.apache.commons.cli.DefaultParser

my output on my files but with the same names as yours:
/var/tmp $ java -jar checkstyle-6.10-all.jar -c CS1332-checkstyle.xml MyClass.java
Starting audit...
/var/tmp/MyClass.java:3:45: '}' at column 45 should be on the same line.

/var/tmp/MyClass.java:19:5: '}' at column 5 should be on the same line.
/var/tmp/MyClass.java:20:1: '}' at column 1 should be on the same line.
Audit done.
Checkstyle ends with 4 errors.
This is happening on two machines that I've seen - one running OS X Yosemite (not sure of the point version) and another running OS X Mavericks (10.9.5). It works fine on my personal machine running Yosemite (10.10.5).
Here's my check XML.

"-all" jar do have all dependencies inside of it. You can not use checkstyle-6.10.jar without all dependecies. Most likely all dependecies jars are in your system classpath that is why it works on some of your PC.
Here is some examples http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/cmdline.html#Usage_by_Classpath_update
