Just been doing this myself and you can use regular plugin
dependencies rather than resorting to extensions. For example,
putting this in your company-wide parent pom will run checkstyle:check
at the verify phase:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<configLocation>checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>mygroup</groupId>
<artifactId>mybuild</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
This assumes an artifact mygroup:mybuild:jar:1.0 that contains your
shared checkstyle.xml.

Yup; i agree; versioning everything associated with the build is a good
idea, and currently we do do this; I was hoping to get rid of the
duplications from project to project in an elegent manner; c'est la vie.
The maven-remote-resources plugin, although it would work, doesn't seem
right either. After all, I dont want to package the checkstyles.xml file
with anything, it doesnt really get distributed; so thats a no.
