Inline Checkstyle Configuration
Hi,
We have just added CheckStyle (and a few others) to our project root's
pom.xml, and managed to configure findbugs, cobertura etc., within the
pom.xml, but the plugin for CheckStyle doesn't appear to support such inline
configuration. We read about configuring CheckStyle for multi-module
projects on Maven's site, and the suggested solution was to create a
separate build-tools project. This is ok, but right now it would only be
for the one CheckStyle config XML file, which seems overkill. Is there
another solution, or a good reason why the CheckStyle plugin doesn't support
adding the configuration within pom.xml?
Cheers,
Ricky.

He wants to configure Checkstyle entirely in the Maven pom, rather
than using external files.
Then he can easily share one configuration with multiple child modules.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "inline
configuration". The Checkstyle Plugin uses standard Checkstyle
configuration files.

Thanks Wayne,
I have downloaded and built the source for that plugin, but between asking
the question and receiving your answer we implemented a workaround (the one
suggested in the CheckStyle plugin documentation - creating a dedicated
project for housing such config files).

If the functionality is not there, then no one has ever asked for it
or the developers responsible for the plugin never needed it
themselves. In this case, I would assume that no one has ever asked
for in-line configuration of Checkstyle.
You are welcome to add that functionality directly yourself (by
grabbing the plugin code from SVN and hacking it), or file a JIRA
issue and wait for someone else to add it for you.
