Hi, Looks like there is a new version of CheckStyle out there, with some really cool enhacements (I particular I like this one: "Detect hiding of fields by parameters or local variables with the same name").
The bad news is: "As of release 3.0 Checkstyle has changed it's configuration system. The configuration file is now an XML file that configures a tree of check modules. The Checkstyle 2 configuration files (based on properties) are not supported in Checkstyle 3. Please consult the documentation to learn about the new configuration file format." http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/releasenotes.html Regards, Nascif
