Alexis Jehan created MCHECKSTYLE-431:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Avoid creating unnecessary target files for pom projects
Key: MCHECKSTYLE-431
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-431
Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: checkstyle:check
Affects Versions: 3.2.1
Reporter: Alexis Jehan
Because pom projects do not have Java code, It is not necessary to create
"target/checkstyle-cachefile", "target/checkstyle-checker.xml",
"target/checkstyle-result.xml" and "target/checkstyle-suppressions.xml" files
for these projects.
Maven configuration:
{code:xml}
