Description

Not sure why resolving dependencies is needed for running Checkstyle, it does slow down the build considerably. For Apache Camel this makes a ten fold difference from ~20mins to ~2mins for running mvn checkstyle:check.

Seems this was introduced with MCHECKSTYLE-163 but subsequently integration test was removed in MCHECKSTYLE-272.

I've created a GitHub pull request to address this:
