Pierre Maréchal updated MCHECKSTYLE-305:
----------------------------------------
Description:
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 MCHECKSTYLE-304 I cannot even input the google_checks as
is.
In summary, it would allow tweaking the built-in configuration, without losing
upstream evolution.
