       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.
