Hi, I am new to maven and chekstyle, so need to ask some question... I want to use checkstyle in my maven based project, so in my pom.xml I have add the dependency 
<dependency>
   <groupId>checkstyle</groupId>
   <artifactId>checkstyle</artifactId>
   <version>2.4</version>
</dependency>
and also I have added the entry in plugin tag:
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.4</version>
  <configuration>
    <enableRulesSummary>true</enableRulesSummary>
    <configLocation>checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
But when I run my maven build with command mvn clean install, checkstyle doesn't do anything. And as I dont have any checkstyle.xml in my system yet, shouldn't it complains me about the error?
What else configuration am I missing?
