Checkstyle is the worst tool ever. Would you agree?

You really want a formatting war being fought in each of your commits? Your ide doing one thing, the next person's reverts it, your ide does it again, etc.etc. Agree on a code style. Automate it. Adhere to it religiously (in your company/team). More on reddit.com

Fix violations in local IntelliJ 2017.3 · Issue #5409 · checkstyle/checkstyle

December 31, 2017 - My local IntelliJ on windows shows 50+ errors and 250+ warnings when running the inspection file on checkstyle's code. We should fix these where possible. We can't suppress them since TeamCity will complain that they aren't needed since it isn't producing a violation on them now.

Importing and debugging in IntelliJ IDE – checkstyle

2 weeks ago - Checkstyle has its own very strict set of inspections. To import and enable them go to Settings -> Editor -> Inspections -> Manage -> Import... and locate file config/intellij-idea-inspections.xml. ATTENTION: Not all files in repository should be analyzed. For example test input files contain numerous violations on purpose.

Then import the CheckStyle settings into the editor, and Reformat like normal (Ctrl+Alt+L is default shortcut key).

If you're using Eclipse, yes. You can't correct all problems though. There are two ways:

Right click on the java file in Package Explorer or whatever, and select 'Apply Checkstyle Corrections'.
Click on the error in the problems view, and select 'Quick fix'. This corrects the problem.

This class contains a number of Checkstyle violations. Expand the Checkstyle tool window at the bottom of IntelliJ. By default, there won’t be anything in it, but tapping the green play icon on the left side of the Checkstyle tool window will display all Checkstyle errors in the current file.

I really do not understand the need for checkstyle. Imagine your build fails because you have an extra white space that you can't even see through naked eye. Java allows mulitple blank lines and as much white space as you want for a reason to have flexibility. I know it is possible for somoene to add accidently add 100s of blank new line but that is something no developer would ever do intentionally

The Checkstyle-IDEA plugin aims to match the results of the Checkstyle command line tool, not Sonar.

If your results differ from the command line tool then please raise an issue on the GitHub project page. Otherwise, the likely cause is that the exported Checkstyle rules file does not match the Sonar configuration, which would be best raised with the Sonar team.
