Howdy -- I had to make some changes to checkstyle-config to support modern releases of the checkstyle plugin. Significant parts of the old config rely on behavior which was changed in the checkstyle 5.0 release; current upstream is 5.7.
The plugin I'm testing against uses net.sf.eclipsecs.core.CheckstyleNature, as opposed to com.atlassw.tools.eclipse.checkstyle.CheckstyleNature. Would anyone object to appropriate updates to ivy-core's .project and src/etc/checkstyle/checkstyle-config? Thanks!
