I would like to create a feature request---evidently. This is something that impacts the ant and Gradle tasks as well.
I'm not sure where to make this request. Should it be on the Checkstyle Github repo or will I have to make three separate requests, one for each of the above? The feature is available on the CLI using the -g option. I intend to use this during the Maven build, not from my code. Since I already had Ant configured to do exactly that, I preferred to use the Ant Run plugin to reproduce the functionality within Maven. The pom file is located at: https://github.com/Fernal73/DSAlgos/blob/master/pom.xml I have no interest in creating my own plugin given the attendant issues of maintaining it and for just this feature. This should really be part of the Maven, Ant and Gradle configurations. Perhaps, it's because the feature is still considered experimental and there's no pressure from users to add the ability to generate Xpath suppressions in the other ways to use Checkstyle. I find it very useful, though although it's complicated to set it up in its current Avatar. Regards, Linus.
