   Checkstyle configuration that checks the sun coding conventions from:
-  - the Java Language Specification at
-        http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/index.html
-  - the Sun Code Conventions at http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/
-  - the Javadoc guidelines at
-        http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/writingdoccomments/index.html
-  - the JDK Api documentation http://java.sun.com/j2se/docs/api/index.html
-  - some best practices

+
   Checkstyle is very configurable. Be sure to read the documentation at
-      http://checkstyle.sf.net (or in your downloaded distribution).
+  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.
