[ANN] Eclipse Checkstyle Plugin 5.0.0 final released

Dear Checkstyle community,

the eclipse-cs project is relieved to announce the release of the 
Eclipse Checkstyle Plugin 5.0.0 final.
After several months in beta no new bugs have been filed since beta4, so 
this version is assumed to be sufficiently stable.

The software can be grabbed from the eclipse-cs update site: 
http://eclipse-cs.sf.net/update/
A packaged update site zip can be downloaded here: 
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80344&package_id=107587
Please refer to the installation instructions: 
http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net/downloads.html

Please note that this version involved a great deal of refactoring, 
among other changes all classes have been relocated to different java 
packages.
This means that your project configuration in Eclipse will have to be 
adapted.
Luckily, this release contains an optional migration plugin which 
automates that task.

The migration plugin does not, however, migrate your Checkstyle 
configuration files to be comaptible Checkstyle 5.0, that will require 
some manual work.
Please read here about changes in Checkstyle 5.0: 
http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/releasenotes.html

What else is to note about this release:
- Integrates Checkstyle 5.0 (yawn, Captain Obvious)
- Working with Eclipse 3.2.x-3.5.x (support for Eclipse 3.0/3.1 dropped, 
please check out older plugin versions)
- Support for Checkstyle 5.0 custom messages (see here: 
http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config.html#Custom%20messages )
- Experimental, optional m2eclipse->eclipse-cs synchronisation, allowing 
the eclipse-cs plugin project configuration to be automatically derived 
from the Maven Checkstyle settings in the project POM (Thanks to Nicolas 
De Loof)
- Changed how custom Checkstyle extensions are to be integrated with 
eclipse-cs. Existing extension fragments for 4.4.x plugin version need 
to be adapted (http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net/extending.html)
- Dropped german and french translations until a clean and workable 
solution for providing language packs is worked out

Thanks to the Checkstyle team for their continued great work.

Best regards,
Lars Ködderitzsch
