> Linting [1] is a software engineering practice which make the code
> more readable and maintainable by improving its consistency and
> avoiding potential programming mistakes.
> Gradle provides a core plugin for the ‘checkstyle’ tool [2][3] which
> provides such facility.  The lint actions are triggered when running
> ‘gradle check’.
> There are a lot reported errors that will need to be fixed
> incrementally in the future.  We ensure that new errors will not be
> introduced by defining a global threshold of “allowed” errors
> corresponding to the sum of errors currently found in the framework
> and in the official plugins.
