Eclipse Checkstyle Plug-in

Eclipse Checkstyle Plug-in

Java code style checks inside Eclipse

Description

The most draining part of code review is arguing about brace placement or empty statements, only learning about them after you commit and having to go back. Eclipse Checkstyle Plug-in puts Checkstyle inside Eclipse so violations are flagged in the editor as you type.

It checks Java coding style and error-prone constructs, with rules you can tune to fit almost any team standard. The feedback arrives while you type, not at build or review time.

Features



Live markers:Violations are highlighted in the editor with markers by the line numbers.

Broad check set:Annotations, blocks, class design, coding habits, headers and imports, e.g. empty statements, magic numbers and overly long methods.

Custom rules:Adjust the rule set to your team standard and share the configuration with the project.

IDE integration:Installs as an Eclipse plug-in with no extra libraries; open source under LGPL.
