Caching checkstyle results; running only broken tests

Hi,

My apologies if this has already been addressed. I had a hard time searching it 
on the mailing list. Nothing novel about this - anybody using checkstyle with a 
non-trivial application must have seen this. 

So, checkstyle takes almost 5 minutes to run, partly because we have lots of 
suppressions. I want to minimize the time by letting checkstyle cache the 
results and run only the broken tests on the subsequent runs. Turns out, no 
solution is available out of the box at least based on my google search. One 
solution that I found online is 
this http://lifeisbetter.in/blog/2010/10/26/checkstyle-ant-task-run-checkstyle-only-on-modified-files/ .
 The issue with this solution is that if a broken test is not fixed, that test 
will not run again because the file was not modified. I am thinking of having a 
timestamp based solution. However, it there is a out of the box solution, that 
would be the best deal. Any pointers on existing solutions would help too. Any 
help appreciated.

Thanks,
Abbas
