exclude this module from all checks has no effect

[chrisraiskin]

IDEA 2018.2.5 Ultimate and Community, Windows 10 MacOS High Sierra
Multi-module maven project.
Checkstyle-IDEA 5.23.0
Project Structure > Modules > [module] > Checkstyle tab
select "Exclude this module from all checks"
Run "Check Project" from Checkstyle tool window.
Issues in classes contained within the excluded module still show up.

Expected behavior: classes contained within the excluded modules are no longer reported.

Also, it would nice if Checkstyle-IDEA honored the maven-checkstyle-plugin suppressions file.

Thanks for the report - I'll try have a look at this when I've a free moment.

I'm afraid that integration with the Maven plugin is highly unlikely to ever happen. IDEA doesn't offer an abstraction for build tools, so we'd need to manually integrate with each relevent build tool. That, I fear, is not a task I have any interest in doing & maintaining.
