----------------------------------------
Summary: checkstyle:check should invoke the execution of this
plugin's goal "checkstyle" prior to executing itself
Key: MCHECKSTYLE-314
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-314
Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.17
Reporter: Roman Ivanov
I run into problem with using checkstyles goal "checkstyle:check" in
sevntu.checkstyle project
(https://github.com/sevntu-checkstyle/sevntu.checkstyle/blob/master/sevntu-checks/pom.xml#L75)
as it always use default sun config when I run "checkstyle:check", It took me
a while to figure out why that does not work.
I had a habit and convenience to run in such a ways pmd and findbug, just "mvn
pmd:check", "mvn findbug:check" it is human friendly.
PMD and Findbugs plugins already do this:
http://gleclaire.github.io/findbugs-maven-plugin/check-mojo.html
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/check-mojo.html
search for "Invokes the execution of this plugin's goal"
vs
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/check-mojo.html
Problem was also raised at :

Please add support of this, most users are not professionals in Maven. I use
Maven for many years and it took me too much time to find a reason why it does
not work.
