[MCHECKSTYLE-397] support ${config_loc} in checkstyle.xml just like eclipsecs

[sos-jira-migration-bot]

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.

by reading this issue, I'm note sure what the real thing you request qxo.
In the PR you write

Currently enabling suppressions for a Maven multi-module project is much more complex than it could be.

I personally can't share this experience. We have the suppression file in the root directory (means on same level as parent pom) in all our projects (single subproject and multi subproject). In our META-POM we make use of the fact that checkstyle plugin uses regex so, so you can just configure:

<reporting>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <suppressionsLocation>checkstyle-suppressions.xml</suppressionsLocation>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</reporting>

You could also use ${session.executionRootDirectory with Maven 3 (or session.rootDirectory with Maven 4) to always have a valid configuration to the root directory of the project. So very easy setup - also in a multi subproject project.
