Introduction

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. An alternative plug-in to "checkstyle4nb" is "Checkstyle Beans", a very nice checkstyle plug-in for NB 6.0 that verifies code adherence as soon as the file is saved with marks on the side bars, next to the opened Java file. "checkstyle4nb" does not have the feature to filter sections of the code that are automatically generated by the IDE, but "checkstyle4nb" can be considered complementary to "Checkstyle Beans" when you have large projects and you do not want the IDE to slow down when several files are saved or you want to check all files in some package/folder with a single click.
