Dennis Lundberg commented on MCHECKSTYLE-268:
---------------------------------------------
Now that we are on Checkstyle 6.2 we can implement this issue. As you say this
comes pretty much automatically, but I'd still like to keep this issue because
we need to update the documentation accordingly.
As for using a Checkstyle configuration in a dependency, this is already
possible. See
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html
> Add flag/option to use built-in Google style

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-268
> Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
> Issue Type: Wish

> Checkstyle 6 adds a style which implements the [Google Style
> Guide|https://code.google.com/p/google-styleguide/], called
> [google_checks.xml|https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/blob/master/google_checks.xml].
> It would be nice to expose this style with a flag, providing it with the
> plugin, rather than requiring a user to specify the style file directly. This
> would make it easier for multi-module projects to easily adopt and configure
> a standard style, provided by the upstream Checkstyle project.
