title: Creating a customized version of the Google Java Checkstyle XML file
body: <p>I am currently trying to create a checkstyle stylesheet that is based off of the Google one, but with some minor tweaks (new line length and indentation lengths. I grabbed this file off of Github (<a href="https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/blob/master/src/main/resources/google_checks.xml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/blob/master/src/main/resources/google_checks.xml</a>), but I am getting the following error when I run it:</p>
  <p><code>[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-checkstyle-plugin:3.1.1:check (default-cli) on project some-api: Execution default-cli of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-checkstyle-plugin:3.1.1:check failed: given name COMPACT_CTOR_DEF -&gt; [Help 1]</code></p>
  <p>Maven plugin configuration:</p>
  <pre><code>      &lt;plugin&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-checkstyle-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;${checkstyle-maven-plugin.version}&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;configuration&gt;
            &lt;consoleOutput&gt;true&lt;/consoleOutput&gt;
            &lt;configLocation&gt;google_checks1.xml&lt;/configLocation&gt;
          &lt;/configuration&gt;
          &lt;executions&gt;
            &lt;execution&gt;
              &lt;goals&gt;
                &lt;goal&gt;check&lt;/goal&gt;
              &lt;/goals&gt;
            &lt;/execution&gt;
          &lt;/executions&gt;
        &lt;/plugin&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>Are there some dependencies that I need to include? Is there a better way of achieving my goal? Any feedback would be appreciated.</p>
