This open-source tool assists developers in writing Java code in compliance with coding standards.
One of the best things about Checkstyle is that it spares humans of this boring, but important task. As such, it is perfectly suited for projects that require strict compliance with coding standards. Additionally, Checkstyle is highly configurable and supports almost any coding standard. With an example configuration file included to support the Sun Code Conventions, users can expect to easily adapt to this software.
Finally, other sample configuration files are also supplied for other well-known conventions. This allows users to easily switch between standards or even create a custom standard that matches their unique needs. Overall, Checkstyle is an excellent software tool that can help developers maintain coding standards and automate the verification process.
