You didn't create a mess here, you just uncovered an undetected bug.

The -bootclasspath/p problems of xml-apis and xml-resolver are probably
not really fixable. We cannot create a "patch module" easily, I'm
afraid. I think we can remove xml-apis completely and build xml-resolver
without any boot-type dependencies. We are no longer interested in
building Xerces or Xalan against a JAXP version other than the one of
the JDK anyway.

Tomcat transitvely inherits antlr4*.jar but this jar doesn't seem to
contain the "runtime" package. I believe you also want
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.antlr/antlr4-runtime and make
that a runtime dependency of checkstyle (not that I knew much about
antlr).
