The point is that the code is reformatted and the imports automatically organized. It saves a bit of time ... The two plugins are quite fast, especially as they do not process the files if they haven't been changed. The checkstyle / code formatter have been somewhat aligned to maven codestyle. Ideally, the configuration files would be shared between all maven repos. I already reused those from https://github.com/apache/maven-build-cache-extension.

I like it, but could we somehow share this setup (at least the huge config)? The amount of added LOC is not trivial, and have it copy-pasted over all reposes seems like a nightmare.....

Agreed. I suppose the best location would be https://github.com/apache/maven-shared-resources/tree/master/src/main/resources/config ?

Parent POM already provides this
