Answer 1

You're on JDK 11.
The JEP 220 removed both tools.jar and rt.jar from the lib folder.

Removed: rt.jar and tools.jar

The class and resource files previously stored in lib/rt.jar, lib/tools.jar, lib/dt.jar, and various other internal JAR files are now stored in a more efficient format in implementation-specific files in the lib directory. The format of these files is not specified and is subject to change without notice.

To upgrade Checkstyle use

   org.apache.maven.plugins
   maven-checkstyle-plugin
   3.0.0
   
     
        com.puppycrawl.tools
        checkstyle
        8.18
     
   

See the inner dependency block.
