------------------------------------------
Hi [~denn...@apache.org] ,
{quote}The version of Checkstyle used in the upcoming 2.16 version of the
plugin requires Java 7, which has meant a bunch of changes to the POM (this is
the first Maven plugin that will require Java 7){quote}
Sorry for causing a problem by that, it was my decision that helped me to
attract more contributors to the project, there is no fun to contribute by Java
that is outdated. Even java7 already got EOL , do you know plans for upgrade
of pom's to java8 ?
{quote} I wanted to use the latest version of Checkstyle for the release, but
got stuck when upgrading, see MCHECKSTYLE-292{quote}
can you point me exact problem with that upgrade, I see reference to closed
issue and reference to changes in c-tor signature that will result in
additional catch in plugin as maximum, am I miss smth ?
{quote} it would be great if you could have a look at MCHECKSTYLE-292 and help
us get past the problems described in there.{quote}
see my answer above , please do not hesitate to contact our team at mail-list
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/checkstyle-devel) for any help or
problem you run into.
{quote} I will try to push for a release of the plugin now, in its current
state. Then when we get MCHECKSTYLE-292 solved I can push for another
release.{quote}
please do 2.16 , and 292 we will resolve as next step.
It would be really nice for plugin to catch up to almost same rollout schedule
(introducing checkstyle version bump as a hotfix release 2.16.1, 2.16.2
,......) if not braking compatibility is introduced by library. Please let me
know if I help somehow.
