             Summary: Move maven_checks.xml and maven-header.txt away from the plugin
                 Key: MCHECKSTYLE-283
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-283
             Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: predefined ruleset: Maven 
    Affects Versions: 2.13
            Reporter: Dennis Lundberg


Currently the configuration for Checkstyle that is used by the Maven project is included inside Maven Checkstyle Plugin. There are several drawbacks to this:

# The plugin should not be littered with stuff that nobody else uses
# If the configuration files change, a new release of the plugin is required before it can be used
# If the plugin upgrades Checkstyle to a version that the Maven project cannot use, due to the required Java version, then the Maven project can no longer modify its Checkstyle configuration

The configuration files should be moved to maven-shared-resources, which already has similar configuration files for maven-changes-plugin.
