	<!-- Typically the tests will not rely on actual plugins and should be self-contained, in this case the problem was most
	often experienced with Checkstyle so it makes it a valid test. Notice however that it is pinned to a known released version 
	so the test won't randomly fail in the future if the plugin behavior changes.
	
	If the extension listed above isn't correctly installed on the plugin classpath, this invocation will fail to find the custom rule -->
