== Eclipse Plugin: Checkstyle

This plugin integrates link:http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/[Checkstyle] into Eclipse.
It will check your code and flag any checkstyle issues as warnings in the code.

Available from the Eclipse Marketplace.
In Eclipse Help->Eclipse Marketplace... and type "Checkstyle".
Select "Checkstyle Plug-in" when the search returns and install it.
Note that "Checkstyle Plug-in" may not be the first result in the list of items returned.

You must configure Checkstyle in order to get the most out of it.
There are two built-in style templates in Checkstyle (from Oracle and Google) but user will almost certainly wish to tweak these.
