Maven multi-project dependency management for checkstyle plugin

I'm trying to use the maven-checkstyle plugin for a multi-module project here is my projec structure

|pom-root
| -- my-checkstyles
|      |-- pom.xml
|      |-- checkstyles
|            |-- checkstyles.xml
| -- my-war
|      |-- pom.xml
| -- my-ejb
|      |-- pom.xml
| -- my-ear
|      |-- pom.xml
| -- pom.xml

and here is the pom.xml for my pom-root project :

<project

When I execute mvn site it fails unless I have the checkstyle project installed in the repository, which is pretty annoying because if a make a slight change in the file I need to install it again in the repo.

I know Maven is supposed to work this way, but is there a way to configure the root pom to resolve the dependency to the checkstyle project at compile time and not get it from the repo?

I tried using maven options "--also-make" and "-pl" but I couldn't get it working.

Also I know I can tell checkfile to look for the checkstyle file using the file:/// protocol (thats how I'm doing it now) but I would rather find an alternative way.

Thanks in advance
