The eclipse-cs Checkstyle plug-in integrates the well-known source code analyzer Checkstyle into today's leading IDE - Eclipse. Checkstyle is a development tool to help you ensure that your Java code adheres to a set of coding standards. Checkstyle does this by inspecting your Java source code and pointing out items that deviate from a defined set of coding rules. With the Checkstyle Eclipse plug-in your code is constantly inspected for problems. Within the Eclipse workbench you are notified of problems via the Eclipse Problems View and source code annotations just as you would see with compiler errors or warnings. A comfortable Check Configuration Editor helps you create and maintain your audit rule configurations. Using filters and file sets you are able to define which files get checked and which don't.

not easy to configure. No way to diable it for set of classes and doesn't have new styles like Package.html rule doesn't apply anymore since it should be used as package-info.java

Tab character gives warnings, how to do indentations then?

Having worked with lint tools I missed a tool for Java that was up-to-date. This tool already got a lot of problems out of my project.

You need to add in a way to export a log of checkstyles violations. This is handy for companies and government agencies that employ an Independent Verification and Validation firm when contracting out their Java development. This way the log can be exported to an Excel (or Open Office Calc) spreadsheet, text document, or even inserted into an email.

Excellent Plugin

there should be quickfix (ctlr+1) suggestions if a suspicous piece of code is selected.
