Checkstyle configuration that checks the sun coding

  - the Java Language Specification at
    http:
> //java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/index.html

  - 
> the Sun Code Conventions at http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/

  - 
> the Javadoc guidelines at
    http://java.sun.
> com/j2se/javadoc/writingdoccomments/index.html

  - the JDK Api documentation 
> http://java.sun.com/j2se/docs/api/index.html

  - some best

Checkstyle is very configurable. Be sure to read the

http://checkstyle.sf.net (or in your downloaded

Most Checks are configurable, be sure to consult the

To completely disable a check, just comment it out

Finally, it is worth reading the
