Intellij IDEA checkstyle


I've got a problem trying to import my check-style to IDEA 14. That's what I do:

  1. File -> Settings -> Inspections -> Import
  2. There I choose my checkstyle.xml and then I don't know why but TempProfile is created.
  3. Hmm, ok, looks like this TempProfile can check my code using my checkstyle.xml but it doesn't!

Solution

  • Go to the Checkstyle configuration page via File → Settings, then typing checkstyle into the search box:

    IntelliJ config editor

    Press the plus icon to add your checkstyle.xml. Activate your checkstyle.xml by clicking the checkbox in the column labeled Active.

    That's it!
    If you want real-time scans, you can go to the Inspections dialog and activate the real-time scan:
