Description

Checkstyle Issue: https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/issues/7190

 

Checkstyle would like to remove all usage of class loading as it is a deprecated functionality and has since been made broken since recent changes. The methods were only left to keep compatibility with maven-checkstyle-plugin but they don't do anything anymore. Checkstyle is a static analysis tool. Class loading always had issues and this is why it was deprecated. We are now in the process of removing it completely.
