Research direction

Start by reviewing how the plugin loads checkstyle.xml and compare the requested ${config_loc} behavior with EclipseCS. Inspect the referenced GitHub Pull Request #36 and the suppressions.xml example; done means the same checkstyle.xml works in both EclipseCS and Maven.

Description

enhancement priority:major

qxo opened MCHECKSTYLE-397 and commented

we can use config_loc as: ${config_loc}/suppressions.xml.

so we can use same checkstyle.xml which contains ${config_loc} for eclipsecs and maven

for eclipsecs ${config_loc} is a variable of Eclipse and it will refer to the same directory where the checkstyle.xml is present.
