Description

Using a slightly modified version of google_checks.xml as inline configuration, checkstyle:check fails with the following XML validation error :

unable to parse configuration stream - Element type "message" must be declared.

Looking at the generated checkstyle-checker.xml, it still uses

<!DOCTYPE module PUBLIC "-//Puppy Crawl//DTD Check Configuration 1.2//EN"
        "http://www.puppycrawl.com/dtds/configuration_1_2.dtd">

where it should be

<!DOCTYPE module PUBLIC
          "-//Puppy Crawl//DTD Check Configuration 1.3//EN"
          "http://www.puppycrawl.com/dtds/configuration_1_3.dtd">
