Hello Checkstyle User,
Java 8 is about to release. Checkstyle crashes on Java 8 code due to new syntax changes. Unfortunately ANTLR grammar update is not a simple task, and none of our tiny development team can handle it before Java8 is released or even this year.
I decided to file the proposal: https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/wiki/Checkstyle-GSoC-2014-Project-Ideas to Google Summer Of Code 2014 in order to find talented students who can focus/work on this tasks for some period of time.
All I need/ask from you is either of the following:
- 1 question survey, without registration - https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MNFHYSJ ;
- reply to this mail thread to show that you need this feature;
- if you represent organization that participate in GSoC 2014 and could give us support vote please let me know .
For us it is required to understand how much you need these features.
Please reshare this request to other developers who use Checkstyle.
Thanks,
Roman Ivanov
