----------------------------------------------
Summary: maven merge policy breaks checkstyle inline configuration
Key: MCHECKSTYLE-267
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-267
Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.13
Reporter: Romain Manni-Bucau
This is surely a bug in maven itself since it appears in effective pom but
please redirect and link this issue if you think so (it can be worked around in
checkstyle plugin and I'm not sure maven cares)
Issue is: you have a pom and a child pom. Both configure checkstyle "inline"
(ie without checkstyle.xml but directly in <configuration>). In this case maven
merge both configs (great) but tag by tag. it means if both checkstyle configs
dont have the same modules then configuraiton is broken and the child module
config can slip to another module for instance.
Workaround would be to get raw config of both pom and do the merge in the
plugin. Correct solution IMO is to consider attribute values during maven merge.
