#166 Checkstyle 7.3 released

[Even Holthe]

Hi,

On 2016-11-25 the Checkstyle team released version 7.3, which includes some fixes that I would like to see supported by the Eclipse Checkstyle Plug-in. My team at my job recently decided to adopt Google Java coding style, but that configuration is currently unsupported until support for version 7.3 is incorporated.

The exception we are seeing:

Thanks for the great work, keep it up!

Great work on the update. I see that the lastest commit is [74168a] Prepare 7.3.0 release. Do you know when it will be available on the Eclipse Marketplace?

[Even Holthe]

Happy new year!

Any progress on publishing the latest release? Anything we in the community can do to help out publish a new version?

[Lars Koedderitzsch]

Even, thanks, happy new year to you too.

Family obligations have hindered progress and now Checkstyle 7.4 is out, so I will probably switch to that...

[Lars Koedderitzsch]

After looking into the work related to moving to Checkstyle 7.4 I decided to simply release the current code based on 7.3.
Have fun!

Thanks for the update Lars! Keep up the good work :-)
