I would like to upgrade the checkstyle version in commons-rng.
Currently the project uses maven-checkstyle-plugin 3.0.0 which
defaults to checkstyle 6.18.
This version is old [1] and not supported by modern IDEs. An update
(to version 8.x) would allow checkstyle to be run within the IDE and
avoid separate checks of the checkstyle report on the command line.
There is no management of the checkstyle version in commons-parent. I
would like to get a consensus on the versions used across commons and
any reason to not upgrade. There may be legacy reasons I am unaware of.
Checkstyle 7+ requires Java 8 and not that long ago (almost) all commons
projects required only Java 7 or less.
Imho commons-parent can use the most recent check-style version (8.17).
Of course this would force projects which use Java 7 or less to override
the checkstyle version when they update to the latest commons-parent
version.
