I am very curious about these Checkstyle issues.

I have advocated to all J2EE developers the need to use checkstyle on a daily 
basis.  We use Maven for our nightly build and continuous integration so it is 
easy.  I want the developers to learn what Checkstyle requires and apply it as 
they develop code.  I believe fixing all these Checkstyle errors after the fact 
so to speak is counter productive and takes longer than writing good code, 
including good javadocs in the first place.

I also insist that code should be peer reviewed, we have a checklist of things 
to consider, and thoroughly unit tested.  Unit tests help write the code in the 
first place and are indispensable when it comes time to refactor.

Am I being too strict here?  Isn't this the way these tools are supposed to be 
utilized.

I would appreciate any helpful comments on this either way.
