> 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?
