       Body:
Hey guys, I run checkstyle myself but I use the Ant plugin. If I were running maven I 
think I'd run the Maven plugin.

Why? Well the fact is that on my source base checkstyle breaks the build and so does 
simian so really reporting is not much of an issue for me.

I guess the other reason would be, as Aslak suggested, that it means I'm not tied to 
checkstyle (even though I love it!).

Technically, there is no real reason. I imagine performance is pretty much the same in 
either case. The only major difference is that the Maven plugin has the cool links to 
the source code.

Description:
Simian (http://www.redhillconsulting.com.au/products/simian/index.html ) is a great 
little tool that detects duplicate source code. Very much like PMD's CPD 
(http://pmd.sourceforge.net/cpd.html), but a _lot_ faster.

I have written a Maven report plugin for Simian that I'd like to contribute to Maven. 
Have a look at some sample reports:

http://www.picocontainer.org/simian-report.html
http://www.nanocontainer.org/simian-report.html

It would be really nice to have the Simian Report included in the standard reports, as 
it reveals refactoring candidates and is something every sound project should have!
