>             Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: checkstyle:check
>    Affects Versions: 2.16
>            Reporter: Pierre Maréchal
>            Priority: Major

> It would be a nice addition to somehow allow the use of built-in config files, yet being able to override some of the settings without adding the whole configuration inline.
> My use case is the following: We use google_checks.xml as a baseline, but want to override the builtin <module name="Indentation"/> with its stock config. At the moment, I must input the whole google_checks.xml as inline configuration, or revert to bulding a specific artifact to include my slightly modified configuration as a dependency (I use multi module).
> Additionally, due to MCHECKSTYLE-304  I cannot even input the google_checks as is.
> In summary, it would allow tweaking the built-in configuration, without losing upstream evolution.
