Hi Mark,

I'm not sure what you mean...  We have, in our group, about 6-7 separate projects that 
all share a single coding style.  As more projects are added, these will also share 
that coding style.  I don't see how we could place the checks anywhere in a source 
code repository that would allow all projects to access the same file and receive 
instant updates if we add or remove checks.

If every project simply points at a URL (be it file, FTP, HTTP) then every project 
will always obtain the latest checks no matter what.  Furthermore we eliminate 
duplication in a simple way as there is only ever one master copy of the group's 
checkstyle file.

Our other thinking was to make it part of the repository somehow, but this seemed too 
convoluted a solution.

What did you have in mind?

Cheers,

  Mike

    Summary: Allow Checkstyle plugin to access checks file from a URL
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Minor

 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: maven
 Components: 
             plugin-other
   Versions:

Description:
Currently the checkstyle plugin allows you to set your own file for the checkstyle 
properties.  It would be nice to be able to have the plugin access a URL instead, to 
allow users to share a common file more easily.
