> The documentation for the check goal at
> https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/check-mojo.html#outputFileFormat
> mentions "plain" as a valid option for file output. This is not true, the
> mojo only supports XML.
> I'd prefer added support for plain output, but the docs should be fixed if
> that is not possible.
> Taking a look at the code, it looks like the only reason plain isn't
> supported is because the check mojo needs to parse the output file to figure
> out if there were style violations. An option would be counting errors with
> the AuditListener instead, but this would break support for skipExec. An
> alternative would be to output an extra XML result file if the output format
> isn't XML.
> I'd be happy to implement either solution.
