Description

As mentioned on the mailing list, sounds like there was some desire to enable checkstyle as a part of the build (validate phase, to be precise). That's what this does.

Then I wondered if it would be an OK time to update a bunch of Maven plugins to the latest, including the Apache parent (11 -> 16) and finally require Maven 3+ since 2+ is really old now.

And then I had site config problems, but then Josh said that's not actually used, so I removed it.

That's a few different POM changes in one, but how does that sound? patch up for a look.
