--------------------------------------
Summary: Use checkstyle on everything
Key: BEAM-1278
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1278
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Task
Components: build-system
Reporter: Benson Margulies
Assignee: Davor Bonaci
It is desirable to run checkstyle on everything, including poms.
The problem is that the checkstyle rules come from the classpath, and that you
can't have a dependency at the top level on a module of the project.
There are some alternatives:
* As of Maven 3.x, the entire checkstyle rule set can be inlined in the pom. A
cure worse than the disease? You decide.
* What other projects *(e.g. CXF) do is separately release an artifact with
checkstyle and PMD rules. You can do that with a new github repo, or using the
necessary Maven magic to have a subdirectory which is _not_ a module and
contains a releasable pom. (It's all in how you configure the Maven release
plugin).
* You can just arrange for the rules to be at a URL. A URL, for example, to a
specific version of a specific file on github?
