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.

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.
