Description

There is a nice check in Checkstyle that allows you to keep your localized resource bundles in sync.

<module name="Translation"/>
http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_misc.html

In its current state maven-checkstyle-plugin cannot make use of this check, for two reasons:

1. maven-checkstyle-plugin only recognizes **/*.java files. This can be re-configured with the <includes> parameter.
2. maven-checkstyle-plugin supports only one source directory, which is configured with the <sourceDirectory> parameter.

We need to be able to add a resource directory (/src/main/resources by default) that is searched for **/*.properties files by default.
