Checkstyle has now been re-enabled on master and will run
automatically in the validate phase of the Maven build.
TL;DR: If you want to run Checkstyle automatically as part of your
build, please run *at least* up to the 'verify' phase. 'mvn clean
compile' will *not* run Checkstyle!
A quick update on this: as Andrew G had surmised, if I recall, it
turns out that binding checkstyle:check to the 'validate' phase was
causing the build to break, but (that was some fun troubleshooting!)
*only* if the 'install' phase or later was invoked (i.e. 'mvn clean
verify' ran fine, 'mvn clean install' broke).
This has been fixed by moving the default invocation of
'checkstyle:check' back to its default binding in the 'verify' phase
[1].
