We did this last year, but the details aren't fresh on my mind. Let me know if this general approach is not enough. We attached the checkstyle xml file to the project so it was deployed along with the jar file to our corporate maven repository. Since that repository is available via http, we configured the eclipse plugin to use that url. Now we have one mavenized project to manage the checkstyle rules. When we deploy it, the checkstyle rules become available to both maven and eclipse at the same time. -Greg Vaughn ====================================================================== Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in and transmitted with this communication is strictly confidential, is intended only for the use of the intended recipient, and is the property of Countrywide Financial Corporation or its affiliates and subsidiaries.
