["Zoran Regvart (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Zoran Regvart commented on MCHECKSTYLE-166:
-------------------------------------------

{quote}Please note that the dependency resolution itself does not cost much these days anymore.

This is false, it costs several network round trips if dependency is not present or needs to be updated. Having a, in my opinion, a fringe, non-best practice use case, impede the most common use case is not a good solution here. Any dependencies needed by maven-checkstyle-plugin should be declared in the plugin's own dependencies.

> Currently, the [{{CheckstyleViolationCheckMojo}}|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/plugins/tags/maven-checkstyle-plugin-2.8/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/checkstyle/CheckstyleViolationCheckMojo.java?revision=1188083&view=markup] class declares:{code}@requiresDependencyResolution test{code}However, that should not be necessary. Checkstyle works on source files, not on bytecode.
> If this declaration would be removed, then this Checkstyle plugin should still work perfectly fine (I would expect without any further code changes).
> The advantage would be that in our Continuous Integration pipeline I can skip the _compile_ stage and immediately trigger the _checkstyle_ stage. That would save us multiple minutes on the feedback roundtrip.
