1. get sources:

git clone https://github.com/google/guava.git

2. change pom.xml to add Checkstyle plugin config with overridden version of checkstyle library

    <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>
.......
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>2.16</version>
          <dependencies>
            <dependency>
              <groupId>com.puppycrawl.tools</groupId>
              <artifactId>checkstyle</artifactId>
              <version>6.9</version>
            </dependency>
          </dependencies>
		  <configuration>
		    <configLocation>/google_checks.xml</configLocation>
		    <enableFilesSummary>false</enableFilesSummary>
		  </configuration>
        </plugin>
