Download Download Eclipse Checkstyle Plug-in 10.6 Free

Eclipse Checkstyle plugin is a comprehensive and reliable software whose main purpose is to provide developers with the ability to continuously verify that the code they write in the Eclipse IDE conforms to standards.

By using this tool, programmers are freed from the task of manually checking their code for issues, as the Eclipse Checkstyle plug-in automates and performs the task itself, verifying many aspects related to source code.

So it can look at class design and method design issues, and also check code layout or any formatting issues that might arise. The checks performed are generally appropriate to the Java coding style, so no additional libraries are required for this task.However, since the Eclipse Checkstyle Plug-in is so easy to customize, it can support almost any coding standard

The most prominent source code standards checks include “comments” (such as the style of comments, deprecated comments, missing overrides, suppressing warnings) or “block inspections” (such as checking for empty blocks, left and right curly braces, or finding nested blocks).

Additionally, with the help of the Eclipse Checkstyle plug-in, programmers can verify ‘Class Design’ (i.e. ‘VisibilityModifier’, ‘FinalClass’, ‘InterfaceIsType’, ‘HideUtilityClassConstructor’, ‘DesignForExtension’, ‘ThrowsCount’, etc.) ArrayTrailingComma’, ‘CovariantEquals’, ‘EmptyStatement’, ‘EqualsAvoidNull’, ‘IllegalInstntiation’, ‘MagicNumber’, ‘SimplifyBooleanReturn’, etc.).

Also checked are ‘Headers’, ‘Imports’ (such as ‘AvoidStarImport’, ‘IllegalImport’, ‘UnusedImports’ or ‘CustomImportOrder’) ‘Javadoc Comments’ (such as ‘JavadocType’, ‘JavadocPackage’ or ‘JavadocVariable’)’ Metrics’, (such as ‘BooleanExpressionComplexity’, ‘ClassFanOutComplexity’ or ‘JavaNCSS’), ‘Modifiers’, (‘ModifierOrder’ or ‘RedundantModifier’), ‘Naming Conventions’ and ‘Regexp’, and many others, a full list is available found on its homepage.
