Description

The checkstyle CLI has an option to generate a suppressions file

-g, --generate-xpath-suppression - generate to output a suppression xml to use to suppress all violations from user's config. Instead of printing every violation, all violations will be catched and single suppressions xml file will be printed out. Used only with -c option. Output location can be specified with -o option.

This should also be exposed in the maven checkstyle plugin.
