Is it possible to configure the maven-checkstyle-plugin to fail the build in a multi-module build before it compiles each module? I'd like it to scan the entire project in an early phase, e.g. validate, before it takes the time to build each module. We have the plugin configured in the top level pom and currently it does the check on each module when the reactor gets to it which takes a long time for later modules. I'd like to move this type of build failure to the front of the build if possible.
