------------------------------------
Hey [~martijnvisser] !
Can i pick this task and work on it ?
- For Existing codebase which throws error for new checkstyle , we can do 2
things as you mentioned
1) Exclude the checkstyle -> this can be forward debt
2) Fix them and work to make it compatible with new checkstyle version
IMO option 2 would be good choice to go
Looking forward to know your opinion and better alternative if possible
> Upgrade Checkstyle to at least 8.29
