NewlineAtEndOfFileCheck and empty files (size 0) #17250
Description
I have read check documentation: https://checkstyle.sourceforge.io/checks/misc/newlineatendoffile.html#NewlineAtEndOfFile
I have downloaded the latest checkstyle from: https://checkstyle.org/cmdline.html#Download_and_Run
I have executed the cli and showed it below, as cli describes the problem better than 1,000 words
/var/tmp $ cat config.xml

Starting audit...
[ERROR] InputNewlineAtEndOfFileEmptyFile.txt:1: File does not end with a newline. [NewlineAtEndOfFile]
Audit done.
Checkstyle ends with 1 errors.NewlineAtEndOfFile is reporting files with size 0 as errors.
The current workaround is to add a single line separator to the file.
Is it possible to revert this decision?
