I'm +0 for it.
But before implementing it, what about a code formatter that kiks in *only*
if a committed file has a number of checkstyle errors (for our standards) >
an certain threshold?
Sometimes it's nice to give a certain indention that automatic tools don't
do, and if the file is consistent with our standards, it's not needed to
have it reformatted.
So, I'm +1 (that means I will help) for running this tool on files that
don't pass the checkstyle check to a certain threshold.
Oh, and be careful that CSPretty can be made to add javadocs automatically.
This needs to be avoided because checkstyle won't complain but the javadocs
would still be useless.
What do you think?
