seekM opened a new issue, #173: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-checkstyle-plugin/issues/173
### New feature, improvement proposal Please consider the following Checkstyle report created with `mvn:site`:  As can be seen, the "Files", "Rules" and "Details" sections are empty, yet their headings and partially the tables are still displayed. Would it be possible to introduce a new optional parameter (or maybe even make this behaviour the default) which hides a section if it is empty? Reasons: - In my opinon having these empty sections there doesn't add additional information. - Personally, I don't think this looks pleasant to the eye. - While one might argues that having these sections there all the times might be good for consistency reasons, for someone who is not familar with Checkstyle reports (or maybe Maven reports in general) this might be confusing. One might wonder what these empty sections mean - for example, seeing this for first time, I was wondering if the Checkstyle plugin maybe was not configured correctly (I was wondering if maybe the checked (yet correct) files should be listed under "Files" or if maybe the used rules to check those files should be displayed at "Rules". I couldn't find such a parameter for the [`checkstyle:checkstyle` goal](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/checkstyle-mojo.html#enableFilesSummary). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
