@chesnay @reta Could you please approve the CI workflow and review this change? This is a dependency maintenance improvement — updating to the latest connector parent — and would be a good fit before the next release. Thanks!

@snuyanzin Could you please re-approve the CI workflow? I force-pushed to fix missing Apache license headers in two files (pre-existing issue now caught by the new parent's stricter RAT config). Thanks!

Added a commit to fix spotless formatting violations — the new parent's upgraded spotless (2.43.0 with google-java-format 1.24.0) requires a blank line before Javadoc comments. Pre-existing issue in 3 files, not caught locally because spotless is
disabled on JDK 21 (CI runs JDK 11).

I've squashed all fixes into a single commit — parent upgrade, license headers, spotless formatting, checkstyle config update, and removed the now-redundant JDK-21 spotless profile (parent 2.0.0 handles it). Verified locally with both JDK 17 and JDK 21. Thanks!

@reta thanks for the review! @snuyanzin thanks for helping with CI approvals. Could you please merge this when you get a chance? Thanks!
