Alexander Kriegisch commented on MCHECKSTYLE-406:
-------------------------------------------------
I know what the preconfigured version is, thanks. But OTOH, users are
encouraged to upgrade the dependency right in the first paragraph of the
[plugin homepage|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/]:
{quote}This version of the plugin uses Checkstyle 8.29 by default and requires
Java 8. But you can upgrade the version used at runtime.{quote}
There is a direct link to another page, describing [how to do
that|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/upgrading-checkstyle.html].
Like I said, it is not urgent, I simply wanted to create a ticket for you in
order to make you aware of the fact that it does not work with the
out-of-the-box configuration and that it might be a good idea to adjust that
for the next release.
As for the Mojohaus parent plugin config, those path names are not doing
anything in AspectJ Maven, because the files simply do not exist. They are not
mandatory.
I am not trying to complain about anything or pressurise you in any way. You
might have noticed that I did not classify the issue as a bug but as a
dependency upgrde. I am just a user trying to contribute a little bit of
feedback to the maintainers who so generously provide me with this wonderful
plugin, hoping that the feedback is useful and a future product version may
benefit from it.
