The RedHat idea is a good one but the implementation is fairly poor insofar as 
it requires you to download an H2 database before you can actually check your 
build. I noticed that if the process is interrupted you are forced to download 
the database again. Good idea with the enforcer plugin, but not a good idea to 
use a database. If it was stand-alone service where a simple REST call can be 
made with your coordinates then it would be excellent.

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking 
about.
