+  Checkstyle configuration that checks the sun coding conventions from:
+
+    - the Java Language Specification at
+      https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se21/html/index.html
+
+    - the Sun Code Conventions at https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-contents.html
+
+    - the Javadoc guidelines at

+
+    - the JDK Api documentation https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/
+
+    - 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.
+  To suppress certain violations please review suppression filters.
+
+  Finally, it is worth reading the documentation.
