Apache Maven - Checkstyle Plugin - Java 8

[Alexander Wessel]

Hi guys,

I like to use the Apache Maven Checkstyle-Plugin with Java 8 but unfortunately 
it uses Checkstyle 5.7 that doesn't support Java 8. Checkstyle itself support 
Java 8 since version 5.9. Is there a plan to migrate the Checkstyle-Plugin to 
this version or can I migrate myself?

Thanks for any advice.

Best regards
Alexander

You can overwrite the checkstyle version. My configuration looks like this:

plugin
groupIdorg.apache.maven.plugins/groupId
artifactIdmaven-checkstyle-plugin/artifactId
version2.12.1/version
configuration
configLocationcheckstyle.xml/configLocation
includeTestSourceDirectoryfalse/includeTestSourceDirectory
failsOnErrortrue/failsOnError
/configuration

dependencies

groupIdcom.puppycrawl.tools/groupId
artifactIdcheckstyle/artifactId
version5.9/version

/plugin


Kind regards,
Joachim

Unfortunately this doesn't work with the latest checkstyle version _if_ you use 
inline configuration, and the DTD version has changed and no longer matches, so 
you end up with broken behaviour.
