Good question, I don't know if the Subversion svn:externals processing
and whatever is processing the .checkstyle would respect redirects.  If
so, then yes it might work, but note there's a couple of bigger
problems: 1) it wouldn't just be one redirect, you'd have to have a
different one for each version/tag and 2) we didn't preserve the old
tags in the new v2/v3 projects (b/c it really doesn't make sense
conceptually).

If we want to support builds of older tags and/or source archives, and
have "everything just work", including the Eclipse .settings and
.checkstyle: the simplest solution would be to just put back up a
read-only copy of the old java-parent-project repo.  I saved off an svn
dump before the restructure, so it would be easy to do.
