How to use global checkstyle.xml that have SuppressionsFilter included

So here in my case I want use remote checkstyle file located in https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core/blob/master/checkstyle.xml?#L45 in another project.


In my project's pom I have config location set as follows:<https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core/blob/master/checkstyle.xml?#L45>


<configLocation>
 https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core/blob/master/checkstyle.xml
</configLocation>

However checkstyle can't resolve checkstyle-suppressions.xml because of the configuration included in the remote file:

<module name="SuppressionFilter">
<property name="file" value="checkstyle-suppressions.xml"/>
</module>

So what would be the ideal solution to be alble to use that remote checkstyle on other projects?. BTW I can get access to openmrs-core to make any necessary changes.

Thanks,
Gayan

What about specifying the suprresion file also in your project:

<configuration>
  <configLocation>
    https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core/blob/master/checkstyle.xml
  </configLocation>
  <suppressionsLocation>
    https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core/blob/master/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
  </suppressionsLocation>
</configuration>

I don't know if this works, but you could give it a try.
