AFAIK it's not possible to make IntelliJ pick up the checkstyle config by
itself. On my machine the setting is in the "*.iml" project file and I think we
have so far not included IDE specific project files because this is quite
uncommon, I think.
@dawidwys I'll create a new maven module to host the maven-build related
files. This will make it easier to include it in different modules without
dealing with paths in the checkstyle config.
