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.

Java formatter
So I was there once, sharing my solution. For my current project I use the java formatter jar, but on my previous work I was using checkstyle, you can get it from here: Checkstyle. Then pass your checkstyle xml format config.

I want to set some standards and practices around the development process at my company. Just looking for any tips. Has anyone done this before? Is there any reference material you might suggest?
On the coding standards side, use linters like https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle and https://github.com/eslint/eslint so you have an automated way to detect some errors and enforce style standards.

What is the most popular Code Style Guide in the Java world?
The most common approach for CI integration is the Maven checkstyle plugin, and you'd have to specify the coding style rules in the checkstyle.xml file. The github repo for checkstyle has checkstyle.xml configs for Google and Sun.
