Contribution Instructions: Formate Code and Linting
We had a list of suggested code formation tools, as my code was written in Java I decided to use suggested formatter GoogleJavaFormat. However, I didn't decide to pick suggested tool for Linter. I picked Checkstyle; for the reason, that SpotBugs wasn't available for JDK 22.

Java Checkstyle reports formatting as a warning, not an error despite my explicit severity
I'm trying to use Google's checkstyle. I want certain things to be an error, such as using Tabs for indentation. When I run mvn checkstyle:check with a file with a tab in the first column, it always gives a [WARN] rather than the error that I've asked for. Pom snippet: org.apache.maven.plugins maven-surefire-plugin ${maven-surefire-plugin.version} ${maven-surefire-plugin.skipUnitTests} org.apache.maven.plugins maven-checkstyle-plugin 3.1.2 checkstyle validate check google_checks.xml UTF-8 true true warning true I'm using google_checks.xml as from https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/blob/master/src/main/resources/google_checks.xml. I have changed the severity for the FileTabCharacter to "error"

Seriously who cares about the warnings
Never had anything like that though for four years my life revolved around getting PMD, checkstyle and Sonar rules to pass so my pull request would merge.

Why You Need Static Code Analysis
Another example can be applied to code quality itself. Most static analyzers are configurable. If you tried to set Checkstyle Google configuration to the mature project, you would probably get hundreds or even thousands of errors. You can start with just one rule. Ar first glance, it seems not so important. But after the moment when the configuration reaches the repository, you can be sure that no one else can violate this rule in the future.
