I'll probably not answer you question about differences, but what I usually just run mvn -Psourcecheck. But i have found very useful to use checkstyle and pmd plugins inside IDE (my case eclipse).

I note that there are some checkstyle/pmd plugin configurations in the testing/sca pom. Can anyone tell me if this is actually running. I've not seen any indication in the mvn builds that I'm doing that it is. Maybe it's just that the code is perfect or that I'm not configuring mvn properly! Outside of the test hierarchy there is a profile ( sourcecheck I think) for this. Why is this different in the testing modules? Thanks Simon
