Description

Checkstyle is a static code analysis tool which helps developers to ensure that their code follows coding conventions and other coding style guidelines, such as those set by the Google Java Style Guide or the Sun Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language. It can be used as a stand-alone application, as an Eclipse plug-in, as an Ant task, and as a Maven plug-in. Checkstyle examines source code for compliance with a set of coding standards and guidelines. It can detect violations of coding style rules and can be configured to enforce policies regarding naming conventions, code structure, and other coding-related issues. It can also be used to detect potential errors, such as missing semicolons, unreachable code, and unused variables. The tool provides a web-based user interface and is extensible, allowing users to create their own custom rules.
