clipse-checkstyle-plugin and maven-checkstyle-plugin behaviour

Hi

I am using checkstyle with a specific configuration file, and I'd like to
use it both with maven-checkstyle-plugin AND eclipse-checkstyle-plugin

I included this configuration file as a resource in a jar
The maven-checkstyle-plugin accepts it and the plugin configuration works
fine: checkstyle - or the plugin - is clever enough to get the xml file out
of the dependency jar.

I'd like to do exactly the same within eclipse with the
eclipse-checkstyle-plugin
(so that checkstyle can be active during eclipse work, and not just when
building with maven, referencing the same jar file)

Unfortunately the checkstyle preference window does not seem to allow a
reference to a jar.
I get "unable to parse configuration stream - Content is not allowed in
prolog.:1:1"

Obviously, if I choose the xml file, it works.

Is there any option so that both plugins can accept a jar file holding the
same configuration(s) file(s) ?

Thanks for any hint

Christian-Luc
