Right, I should have mentioned this on my own. The usage of checkstyle is
not clear to me since it enforces extremely strict rules like max. 80
characters line length whereas the code still contains easy to fix issues like
variable names. Therefore I assumed that checkstyle has been added without
fixing the large amount of complaints and the value 557 has simply been set to
the number of complaints. I figured out that it's very hard to diff the
violations with and without this PR, however I'm pretty sure that I only added
4 lines longer than 80 characters. I can check again if the 4 more issues
besides the existing 557 are an absolute showstopper to merge this PR.
