 Description   

The Gradle Checkstyle plugin by default creates an XML result file and also dumps everything in plain text to the console output (ant task: formatter: plain). This is not desirable as some projects produce several thousand lines of issues thus cluttering the regular Gradle console output.

The plugin should have a configuration to switch the console output off.

The issue was also mentioned on the mailing list: http://gradle.1045684.n5.nabble.com/Checkstyle-issues-td3402034.html

Fix submitted via pull request. Adds usePlainFormatter option which defaults to true but if set to false, suppresses the console output whilst keeping the xml output.

e.g.

checkstyleMain {
    usePlainFormatter = false
}

will not show the violations on the console.
