It is deployed to central normally, so you *could* use it at build time independently whether it makes currently sense or not. We could achieve the same with these configuration resources that are used by the plugins in the build process of commons-rng and that are possibly interesting for other components, too. Do we have shared (copied) configuration files (currently for checkstyle, clirr, and pmd) between the different components and do we want to share them physically?
