-------------------------------------------
Summary: Allow simultaneous use of <configLocation> and
<checkstyleRules> as override
Key: MCHECKSTYLE-305
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-305
Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: checkstyle:check
Affects Versions: 2.16
Reporter: Pierre Maréchal
It would be a nice addition to somehow allow the use of built-in config files,
yet being able to override some of the settings without adding the whole
configuration inline.
My use case is the following: We use google_checks.xml as a baseline, but want
to override the builtin <module name="Indentation"/> with its stock config. At
the moment, I must input the whole google_checks.xml as inline configuration,
or revert to bulding a specific artifact to include my slightly modified
configuration as a dependency (I use multi module).
Additionally, due to I cannot even input the google_checks as is.
In summary, it would allow tweaking the built-in configuration, without losing
upstream evolution.
