Hi Anders, those are outdated – not everything you need is included, at least for IntelliJ.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.
