--------------------------------------------------------------------
I have just tested it, the behavior is the same except that the checkstyle
plugin (defined only in the agregator "pom.xml") is not inherited by modules.
But unnecessary target files are still generated for the agregator.
I think every "pom.xml" defined with {{<packaging>pom</packaging>}} should be
excluded from the "check" goal.

> "target/checkstyle-result.xml" and "target/checkstyle-suppressions.xml" files
> for these projects.
