Sorry @rakeshadr, I misunderstood your previous comment.
So I have concerns about changing the way dependencies are pulled for the
test build for what is a very minor developer inconvenience (a few extra lines
in the .classpath file).
While I was unable to get checkstyle to run against branch-3.4 (would
appreciate any insight you have on actually doing this) I was able to confirm
that changing the way transitives are handled for the checkstyle dependency in
branch-3.5 does break the checkstyle ant task.
You did mention that
> the related libraries are not needed now
Are you saying that checkstyle is not being used at all in branch-3.4? I
could not find much info while dgging through JIRA.
