NAME
       checkstyle -  static code analysis tool to check if Java source code complies with coding rules

SYNOPSIS
       checkstyle -c configurationFile [options] [file]

OVERVIEW
       Checkstyle is a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. It automates the process of
       checking Java code to spare humans of this boring (but important) task. This makes it ideal for projects that want to enforce a coding
       standard.

       Checkstyle is highly configurable and can be made to support almost any coding standard.

       For information about Checkstyle, it can be found at http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/.
