"the tip of using a dependency containing build tools doesn't work at
all"
I beg to differ. At least the 2.0-beta-2 snapshot I have (dated
20051230.164525-2) has this working just fine. The POM has to be
arranged:
<project>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-2-SNAPSHOT</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>this.is.a.group</groupId>
<artifactId>build-tools</artifactId>
<version>3.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-2-SNAPSHOT</version>
<configuration>
<configLocation>style/Q.Access.xml</configLocation>
<headerLocation>style/header.java</headerLocation>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
</project>
With this POM (of course, I left a bunch of other stuff out like that
the build-tools artifact is a module of this POM), CheckStyle pulls the
configuration and header out of the build-tools jar file. And this
works on all of the modules of this POM without a hitch.

It works fine and (AFAIK) there are no planned breaking changes. The
only important issue open is how to share configuration files in a
multi-project build: actually that can easily be done by using a shared
file with relative paths or an url, but the tip of using a dependency
containing build tools doesn't work at all and can't be used for reports
(the plugin element in the reporting section of pom doesn't support
per-plugin dependencies). Did you see the recent commit mails about that
topic?
Anyway, that issue is generic to any plugin that have to share a
configuration file in a multi-module build; the checkstyle plugin now
works fine and important classloader issues have been fixed so it surely
deserves a non-beta release.
