Description

While working on https://github.com/checkstyle/eclipse-cs/issues/454 ,

I noticed when I changed the regular expression header file and did a clean build to re-run Checkstyle, Eclipse-CS kept using the old header file not matter what I did to try to get it to see the new one.

Checkstyle did not recognize the new header file changes until I re-saved the Configuration file, even though it had no more changes at that point.

It seems to me Eclipse-CS is caching something in memory to avoid having Checkstyle recreate the config in memory for each run and is causing issues when it doesn't see something as changed.
