The Google checkstyle with small modification is provided in [<code>java-checkstyle.xml</code>](https://gist.github.com/kildo162/a06eb8e53a6e81337ba6c357eb8a320c) . Please use it in your IDE.
## For IDEA:
- Install checkstyle plugin
- Settings -> Tools -> CheckStyle -> Add new checkstyle linking to the provided <code>java-checkstyle.xml</code>
### To support the checkstyle
We need you to configure IDEA to apply the checkstyle it its code style:
- Settings -> Editor -> CodeStyle -> Java -> Scheme -> the settings icon (gear) -> Import Scheme -> CheckStyle Configuration
- Choose the <code>java-checkstyle.xml</code> location
## How to run
Use the checkstyle window
Right click to class and choose Check Current File
> Checkstyle has a flaw, it cannot validate the maximum length of a continuation indentation, there is no tool supporting this currently, so if you detect multiple wrong indentations inside a class, please use <code>Ctrl + Alt + L</code> (Reformat Code)
