Description

Currently the checkstyle plugin allows you to set your own file for the checkstyle properties. It would be nice to be able to have the plugin access a URL instead, to allow users to share a common file more easily.

Please find attached an updated plugin that allows you to specify the property maven.checkstyle.propertiesURL. This should work on all systems, but we've only tested on Windows NT.

Can you not share your checkstyle configurations more easily by checking them into your source control system with the rest of your project, rather than posting them on a web server somewhere?

Hi Mark,

I'm not sure what you mean... We have, in our group, about 6-7 separate projects that all share a single coding style. As more projects are added, these will also share that coding style. I don't see how we could place the checks anywhere in a source code repository that would allow all projects to access the same file and receive instant updates if we add or remove checks.

If every project simply points at a URL (be it file, FTP, HTTP) then every project will always obtain the latest checks no matter what. Furthermore we eliminate duplication in a simple way as there is only ever one master copy of the group's checkstyle file.

Our other thinking was to make it part of the repository somehow, but this seemed too convoluted a solution.

What did you have in mind?

Cheers,

Mike
