Ben, What about having a release of checkstyle with all of the requested changes and then update maven plugin and then release it? Checkstyle maven plugin is just a wrapper over checkstyle library.
The best way would be that you (or anyone from Checkstyle) create a PR when you are ready with the new release. I will be happy to help you move forward with this change and cut a release Cheers Enrico Il lun 23 dic 2019, 07:21 Benjamin Marwell <bmarw...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > Hi all, > > The checkstyle team is waiting for my PR: > > https://github.com/apache/maven-checkstyle-plugin/pull/18 > > The problem is, that they want to remove a method.
