[sabaka]

Now it can support default methods, methods references, new type cast and lambdas.

@tonyghita, #10 (comment)

👍

[romani]

mean while please do build yourself "mvn -Pdistro package" and provide us feedback after testing over your sources.

I tried this pull request locally against my code base. It seems to handle the Java 8 features like lambda expressions correctly now. But It is failing on recognizing custom annotations. I get the following exception for all custom annotations that i have defined in my codebase:

MyCustomAnnotation.java:0: Got an exception - java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1

[ayadav77]

Please ignore the above comment. The exception java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 is occurring in one of the custom Checks that exists in our codebase. I will troubleshoot further and provide any additional information that may be relevant here.

[ayadav77]

My testing of this pull request has been successful. I had to ensure that my custom checks were compiled against the new checkstyle jar (of course). I successfully was able to have checkstyle perform the analysis on my java 8 codebase.

Hi guys,
Is there anyone try to run this release in Gradle.
I tried but couldn't run the Checkstyle.SNAPSHOT.jar with Checkstyle plugin in Gradle. Any ideas?
