Description

Check style has been releasing a flurry of new versions over the last couple of months. Up til now, we have been monkey patching the dependencies to get to the latest version. At the moment, that is 6.6.

Unfortunately, in version 6.5, they changed the command line arguments by removing the -r option which is now always on. This is not a change that I want monkey-patched in our build scripts.

I will attach some patches:

1. an update to the checkstyle add-on dependencies for Checkstyle 6.6
2. a spec that shows that the checkstyle add-on is now broken
3. a fix to the command line arguments assembled by the checkstyle add-on

Would you apply these?
