Checkstyle suppressions should only contain suppressions for the enclosed module
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-9077
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/RF-9077
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: build, third-party
            Reporter: Jay Balunas
             Fix For: Future_4.X


Because of an issue with the maven checkstyle plugin ( or perhaps checkstyle itself ) one one suppression file is loaded during a maven build.  It is the first suppression file found.  TODO - further investigate this issue, other do not seem to have it.

This means that any modules that require checkstyle suppressions ( 2 at time of writing ) must contain all checkstyle suppression configuration for the project.  This is the only way to ensure that complete project can build, and that the individual modules can build as well.

We need to update either find out how each module can have a self contained suppression file, or create a global suppression file.  The global suppression option is not as clear as you would think.  To do this we need to create a sub-project in /trunk, that is: 1) released with the project, 2) packaged as a jar, 3) set as a plugin dependency in each module parent.
