I've started going through the open issues and have found a problem that I need som help with. It turns out that Checkstyle 5.9 uses Java 6 classes, even though it is not mentioned in the release notes. How do we want to handle this? I see two possible options:
1. Make version 2.14 of the plugin require Java 6, and update it to use the latest available version of Checkstyle that runs on Java 6. 2. Revert the plugin back to Checkstyle 5.8 and release 2.14 of the plugin with a Java 5 requirement. After that release 2.15 of the plugin fairly straight away with a Java 6 requirement, and using the latest available version of Checkstyle that runs on Java 6. It should be noted that Checkstyle 5.8 does NOT work on Java 8 source code. Perhaps there are other alternatives? What do you think?
