I think you need to specify the dependency within the <build> section of
the pom and then reference in the reporting section:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example.whizbang</groupId>
<artifactId>build-tools</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<configLocation>whizbang/checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
<headerLocation>whizbang/LICENSE.txt</headerLocation>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>

Subject: reporting plugin dependency question
Hi!
I'm currently enabling the checkstyle plugin for the OpenWebBeans build
and stumbled over an interesting problem:
I'd like to define the openwebbeans_checks.xml in an own artifact for
being used in different modules. My first idea was to simply define the
checkstyle plugin in the reporting section kind of:
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<configLocation>default/openwebbeans_checks.xml</configLocation>
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.openwebbeans</groupId>
<artifactId>checkstyle</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
...
</reporting>
But there is no way to specify dependencies for a reporting plugin,
isn't it? Is this intended?
The only thing I could do is to also specify the plugin with its
dependency in the <build><pluginManagement> section, but that's not
really handsome.
WDYT? Should I create a Jira?
