<!-- 
    Original: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/master/src/main/resources/sun_checks.xml
    Slight modifications, commented out the following rules:
      - JavadocPackage 
      - LineLength
      - FinalParameters
      - TodoComment
      - MagicNumber
      - ParameterNumber

    Maybe someone can un-comment these and finish fixing up the code in the future

  Checkstyle configuration that checks the sun coding conventions from:

    - the Java Language Specification at
      https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se11/html/index.html

    - the Sun Code Conventions at https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/codeconvtoc-136057.html

    - the Javadoc guidelines at
      https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868.html

    - the JDK Api documentation https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/

    - some best practices

  Checkstyle is very configurable. Be sure to read the documentation at
  https://checkstyle.org (or in your downloaded distribution).

  Most Checks are configurable, be sure to consult the documentation.

  To completely disable a check, just comment it out or delete it from the file.

  Finally, it is worth reading the documentation.
