Dennis Lundberg commented on MCHECKSTYLE-300:
---------------------------------------------
Hi all,
There are a couple of reasons why there hasn't been a release of the plugin in
a while:
* There has been some breaking (for the Maven project itself) changes made in
the upcoming 2.16 version of the plugin, which has required discussions to get
them right
* The version of Checkstyle used in the upcoming 2.16 version of the plugin
requires Java 7, which has meant a bunch of changes to the POM (this is the
first Maven plugin that will require Java 7)
* I wanted to use the latest version of Checkstyle for the release, but got
stuck when upgrading, see MCHECKSTYLE-292
* I haven't had much time for OSS-work lately
[~romani], it would be great if you could have a look at MCHECKSTYLE-292 and
help us get past the problems described in there.
I will try to push for a release of the plugin now, in its current state. Then
when we get MCHECKSTYLE-292 solved I can push for another release.
> Upgrade to Checkstyle 6.8.x+
