Description

When enabling cache in the pom for checkstyle via `cacheFile`, no cache file is ever created after the run and multiple runs are not using any cache as there is no speed up.

POM: https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/blob/481406f2d5c07b8766757eb45bcc15fd1fa51bed/pom.xml#L453-L492

I am specifying the cache after line 472 with the following:

<cacheFile>${project.build.directory}/cachefile-sevntu</cacheFile>

When I specify the cache directly into the configuration file, the cache file is created, so this looks like an issue directly related to the maven plugin.
I shouldn't need to specify it into the configuration since a property is available in the POM.
