I have another solution to this problem, which is not the maven way but
works equally.
I have uploaded the file on a web server and accessing it from there:
Eclipse is using .checkstyle config to see the remote location of the
configuration (there is an option for remote file)
Maven is using the parent pom.xml to see the same remote location of the
configuration.
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<configLocation>http://www.someplace.net/scytl_checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I'd prefer the jar solution though, is much cleaner.

Yes, the last part of your post is what we'd like to do:
One mavenized projet holding a set of configuration files.
So that you can version, deploy, and access the jar containing the
appropriate set of rules.
We do not want to embed the rules inside the project(s) that will be using
the rules.
we want these rules to be common (as sun_checks).
Therefore, once the rules'jar is available in the repository, it can be
accessed by maven (no probs)
BUT how can you make it available to eclipse at the same time ? (do you
explode the jar in the repository when you deploy it ?, so that eclipse
checkstyle can reference the xml files ...)
anyway, I posted the question in checkstyle mailing list.
If I get an answer, I'll post it
good day,

I am using maven-checkstyle-plugin with a specific configuration file
(I made it as a resource in a jar and the plugin configuration works
fine:
checkstyle - or the plugin - is clever enough to get the xml file out of
the
dependency jar)
I'd like to do the same within eclipse with the
eclipse-checkstyle-plugin
(so that checkstyle can be active during eclipse work, not just when
building with maven)
Unfortunately the checkstyle preference window does not seem to allow a
reference to a jar.
it needs an xml file
This is not really a maven question but someone may know if my request
is
possible ???
We did this last year, but the details aren't fresh on my mind. Let me
know
if this general approach is not enough.
We attached the checkstyle xml file to the project so it was deployed
along
with the jar file to our corporate maven repository. Since that repository
is available via http, we configured the eclipse plugin to use that url.
Now we have one mavenized project to manage the checkstyle rules. When we
deploy it, the checkstyle rules become available to both maven and eclipse
at the same time.
