No

Answer 1

You can do it like following :

1. Create plugin project and add your custom checks there.
2. Make appropriate changes to plugin.xml, checkstyle_packages.xml.
3. Export the project as Deployable Plug-ins and fragments (Export > Plug-in Developement)
4. Copy the jar file to Eclipse Plugin folde, so no need to install your custom check .
