Description

At the moment, the maven-checkstyle-plugin is at version 3.1.0, which ships with checkstyle version 8.19.

Checkstyle 8.24 is out and due to changes in configuration syntax, one cannot easily switch to the more recent checkstyle version. Specifically, the "TreeWalker" module contains a few breaking changes and moved/removed elements such as LineLength that need to be reorganized slightly before checkstyle can be used with more recent versions. 

 

This task proposes to upgrade the checkstyle version to 8.24 (or whatever might most recent at the time work begins) and then fix all configuration issues related to syntax of the new version:
