<p>It is error of the checkstyle plugin when validating the code <code>netty-common</code> project. </p>

<p>I am not familiar with this plugin . I want to know if I can just ignore it by removing the configuration from the pom.xml(in the ). like below.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;plugin&gt;
        &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-checkstyle-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;version&gt;2.10&lt;/version&gt;
        &lt;executions&gt;
          &lt;execution&gt;
            &lt;id&gt;check-style&lt;/id&gt;
            &lt;goals&gt;
              &lt;goal&gt;check&lt;/goal&gt;
            &lt;/goals&gt;
            &lt;phase&gt;validate&lt;/phase&gt;
            &lt;configuration&gt;
              &lt;consoleOutput&gt;true&lt;/consoleOutput&gt;
              &lt;logViolationsToConsole&gt;true&lt;/logViolationsToConsole&gt;
              &lt;failsOnError&gt;true&lt;/failsOnError&gt;
              &lt;failOnViolation&gt;true&lt;/failOnViolation&gt;
              &lt;configLocation&gt;io/netty/checkstyle.xml&lt;/configLocation&gt;
              &lt;includeTestSourceDirectory&gt;true&lt;/includeTestSourceDirectory&gt;
            &lt;/configuration&gt;
          &lt;/execution&gt;
        &lt;/executions&gt;
        &lt;dependencies&gt;
          &lt;dependency&gt;
            &lt;groupId&gt;${project.groupId}&lt;/groupId&gt;
            &lt;artifactId&gt;netty-build&lt;/artifactId&gt;
            &lt;version&gt;21&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;/dependency&gt;
        &lt;/dependencies&gt;
      &lt;/plugin&gt;
