Checkstyle helps programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. It automates the process of checking Java code against a standard, to spare humans of this boring (but important) task. The tool is highly configurable and can be made to support almost any coding standard.

This feature integrates Checkstyle 5 into the Eclipse IDE.

You are notified of problems via the Eclipse Problems View and source code annotations just as you would see with compiler errors or warnings.
