Ahh... Well, I did it the convoluted Maven way. Once I saw how it works: the company checkstyle rules are distributed as a Maven artifact! That artifact gets installed into the company Maven repo. I don't see why you would want to serve resources to the build process by a home-grown distribution mechanism when Maven can do it in a uniform way. But I admit it's a bit convoluted.
Thanks for your help, Matt!
