Here's two "best practice" approaches generally suggested to solve
this problem on this list:
1. Put the checkstyle.xml file in a location that can be accessed
using HTTP. This may be a particular file on a Webserver or just
reference a file in a Subversion repository.
2. Create a new Maven package to contain these kinds of configuration
files etc across your organization/projects. Package the
checkstyle.xml file in a Jar, deploy it to your Maven repo, and then
add a dependency to this new config jar to the checkstyle plugin
declaration.

Hi
I am facing a similiar issue in my project.
But additionally i want the a checkstyle file FC-CheckStyle.xml
customized to my project be invoked in order to find out if there are
checkstyle errors .
how do i do that?
Additionally can some one tell me how can i refer to this file as this is
located in my root directory
and i want to invoke the file in a directory fc
to be more clear i will provide a brief about my project.
FC-4.0 Source-->application-->fc (my pom is here)
-->er (and here)
-->portal
--> components-->pom
--> pom
Can some one suggest me how to perform this checkstyle validation.
would you suggest me the validation to be at the top level or at every level
as i am having a multli project build.
but the issue with this approach is that all the developers would have to
build the entire project rather than a sub project for finding out check
style errors.
any comments how we can extend something from the top level pom.
