Update Checkstyle for Java 7 Compatibility
Preconditions
OSCAR Source
Compile level Java 7+
Steps to Reproduce
Try to Maven compile Java 7+ code containing new Java 7 syntax such as diamond notation: List<String> alist = new ArrayList<>(); or a try-with-resources block
Expected Result
Code compiles
Observed Result
Checkstyle fails with exception EOF expected but found ...
Additional Comments
The current Maven Checkstyle version 2.8 in Oscar does not handle the new Java 7 syntax. 2.15 is the minimum version required for Java 7.
Version 3.0* is used with Java 8, but this involves a more complex upgrade. Suggestion is to stick with 2.15 for a while.
