12.1.0 plug-in missing

Eclipse-cs 12.1.0 plug-in is missing from Marketplace client or via using the direct link to install https://checkstyle.org/eclipse-cs-update-site/

The latest available is 12.0.1.

Clear @vtintillier!
In our scenario it's kinda blocker: we introduced new rules by modules available just in recent Checkstyle releases, yet our old Checkstyle plug-in crashes because it doesn't know about the module.

So our team members who are working in Eclipse are waiting for the resolution with impatience) (Intellij IDEA users are luckier this time...)

It might be interesting idea to have config where modules can be enabled/disabled based on some environmental variables. So users can skip some modules in some use cases.

In eclipse some modules are skipped from loading, but in ci all works, so CI will control contributors who use not upgraded versions, and it will not block them.

Another idea is make simple property in Checker to allow skip module if there is problem to load it.

@lrozenblyum, what approach is more suitable to your environment?

Hello @romani!
Disabling a module based on some env. variable might be a really good solution!

Allowing skipping ANY module when there is a problem to load it might hide some unexpected issues.
I'd prefer to explicitly specify somehow in Eclipse that Checkstyle should omit a specific module from loading.
