Benjamin Marwell commented on MCHECKSTYLE-384:
----------------------------------------------
Actually, the Reporter got it wrong. He wrote:
> The latest maven-checkstyle-plugin is incompatible to Checkstyle version 8.24
This is not entirely true, since this plugin is only a wrapper to some
checkstyle version which happens to default to 8.19 atm.
That particular perspective seems also be shared on the maven dev mailing list.
Although I would not want to break the plugin compatiblity with the default
installations, this way of thinking eases the pain a little (given enough
documentation). Other impacts are:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-387 and possibly others.
