Hi Anders,

those are outdated – not everything you need is included, at least for
IntelliJ.
YMMV when using those.

There is a lot which could be done.
E.g. updating those files, some general code guidelines (like: do not use
guard statements, rather use an else), etc., when (not) to use Optionals,
when to use which Logger, when to keep compatibility to Java 7/8 for plugin
x/y…

It is not just about code style!

But speaking about code style: I saw Christian (junit) using a
fmt-maven-plugin [1].
That would be helpful, too, unless checkstyle can do the same now.
