I'm trying to apply Checkstyle 3.1.0 to fop-head via Eclipse 2.1, and am having a few problems. I cannot import the checkstyle.cfg file, so I have constructed a new one. I seem to have been much too restrictive in what I have tried, and am now working my way through deleting or detuning rules.
I have since that paragraph was written received some info from David Schneider on the Eclipse-cs-developer list. It seems the checkstyle.cfg we have in fop-head is pre-version 3. Version 3.1.0 does not support the check for a header file, which is why it does not appear in the Preferences Checkstyle UI, or linked into the relavant integrated documentation. That will not be available until at least 3.2.
I will commit a 3.1.0 style config, and those of you who haave followed the style discussion more closely might like to modify it. I suspect there are more options in the new version.
I am on a steep learning curves with Checkstyle and the conventions, which I am planning to apply to alt.design before going any further. That learning curve is probably another reason to cast an eye over the config I create.
