For  eclipse, I use the Checkstyle plugin as well. I had to create 2
different profiles.
In the checkstyle plugin: Local Check Configurations area. I created 2 entries:
projectname-src-checkstyle and projectname-test-checkstyle.

Click on the Properties button and point it to your checkstyle.xml file.
Then click the 'Additional properties...' button to define the variables
for this particular configuration. The same ones I defined in my build.xml.

Once I had my local configurations defined, in the Main tab I was able
to create 2 filesets one called main the other test. There I selected
the files I wanted checked by each one.

This allows me to have 2 different rulesets defined by a single checkstyle.xml.
It works great (once it is setup).

Probably not. You're best bet would be to define properties for elements
that can be controlled by properties. I control the following based on
variables:
checkstyle.cache.file
checkstyle.header.file
javadoc.lazy
javadoc.method.scope
javadoc.missing.param
javadoc.type.scope
javadoc.var.scope

So you might be able to change the scoping rules of your methods and javadoc
using properties.

If you find a better solution please post it back to the list. I'd be
interested in a better
way.
