Importing and debugging in IntelliJ IDE – checkstyle
2 weeks ago - Few changes in IDE settings are required to help your IDE do it automatically. To change formatter settings please go to File->Settings in menu. Then in the tree go to: Editor->Code Style->Java, open Import tab (follow numbers on a picture) and apply settings highlighted: 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.

r/java on Reddit: Checkstyle is the worst tool ever. Would you agree?
January 21, 2024 -

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
