[»] Checkstyle ... must have for Java coders
by Jim Caprioli - Dec 6th 2003 17:45:44

What I like is that the package comes with ready made XML checkfiles for Sun Coding guideline. Add the job to Ant and you get a Javadoc type of HTML with codechanges you have to do to get your source compliant with the standard.

I don't believe in tools who do the job in your valuable source for ya.

[»] Great program - especially when integrated with Ant

Checkstyle is a must-have for anyone developing Java software wanting consistency in their code and JavaDoc. It is especially useful when implemented as an Ant task - check it out!
