Hi all, The checkstyle team is waiting for my PR:
https://github.com/apache/maven-checkstyle-plugin/pull/18 The problem is, that they want to remove a method. If they do this too early, maven users will not be able to update the checkstyle version anymore. Also, the maven Checkstyle plugin cannot ship a Checkstyle version beyond 8.23 because of breaking changes. There is also an issue for this. This really needs some attention by someone with more responsibility. Please keep in mind that there is already a jira issue about the 8.24 incompability. I commented that they should have made it a major version, and maybe the checkstyle plugin will have to jump to a new major release at some point? Thanks for looking into this. Ben
