Description

The Checkstyle report is an official part of the Maven's project website. Release manager needs to review it before cutting a release.
Actually, the Maven Checkstyle conf is too strict and not following our conventions.

Lets take the MPIR project (rev 675999) and see site-MPIR-r675999.zip attachment. There is a lot of unuseful info/warn ie "Missing a Javadoc comment" or "Expected @param tag for..."
I propose to modify the current Maven style (see maven_style_improvements.diff). You could see results in site-MPIR-improvements.zip
