Benjamin Marwell commented on MCHECKSTYLE-373:
----------------------------------------------
[~vmoittie] you can do this already.
{{In your }}{{pom.xml}}{{, use this:}}
{{}}
{{<properties>}}
{{ <!-- declare a default -->}}
{{ <checkstyle.version>8.19</checkstyle.version>}}
{{</properties>}}
{{<dependencyManagement>}}
{{ <dependencies>}}
{{ <dependency>}}
{{ <groupId>com.puppycrawl.tools</groupId>}}
{{ <artifactId>checkstyle</artifactId>}}
{{ <version>${checkstyle.version}</version>}}
{{ </dependency>}}
{{</dependencyManagement>}}
Now you can build the way you described. Without, it would take the property
from the pom.xml. With {{-Dcheckstyle.version=8.24}} it would use {{8.24}}.
Did this resolve your issue?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-373
> Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: checkstyle:checkstyle
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Vincent Moittie
> Priority: Major
>
> Hi,
>
> As we can see in your documentation, the only way to choose specific
> checkstyle version is to modify the pom.xml.
> So it will be nice to have a property to manage this in command line.
> Example :
> {code:java}
> -Dcheckstyle-version=8.18{code}
> So, from QA point of view, we can manage checkstyle version over all our java
> projects, and there is no need to change project specific settings which are
> still pom file.
