Hi, might someone please explain why catching a NoSuchMethodError at runtime does not work and we did not see this coming? In my understanding the old 8.29 checkstyle version should only be a compile dependency, but not a runtime dependency.
And the patch even was approved by two or three of you. My guess is that the checkstyle team *compiles* with the new version or watches errors which are catched. https://github.com/apache/maven-checkstyle-plugin/pull/28#discussion_r386064511
