Sorry, this may be kind of a newbe question, but I'm still looking for a 
away configure the eclipse checkstyle plugin to use the right checks.
Can you give me some advice with that? I've already tried to import the 
maven_check.xml from the maven-checkstyle-plugin.jar but that does not 
seem to workout, because there are unresolved place holders.
So my question is, where can I get/how can I generate a valid 
checkstyle.xml for a commons project, that takes the suppressions into 
account?

TIA,
Benedikt
