Hi

Small update on this topic.

We faced some untrivial behavior of our CI when it checks PRs.

The use-case becomes more complex as we expect and it's no longer looks like a quick fix with an easy win. That's is why we stopped any

investigation in this area. In case if someone wants to lead this

task let me or Mykhailo Kuznietsov know. Mykhailo will share all the information we have at this moment.

I have used this in other projects and can recommend it.

It is on the same level of "PITA" as checkstyle or sortpom (meaning you
have to remember to comply to them or remember to run their "formatters"
for the sources to remain compliant).

We already apply sortpom, checkstyle et al., so +1 for another tool that
would keep the sources up-to-date.
