What you could do is point to an actual version of your checkstyle
config. ie:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>...</groupId>
<artifactId>...</artifactId>
<version>...</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
Instead of the using the <configLocation> parameter. This way any of
your modules can point to the artifact without having to know its folder
location.
