Checkstyle VS styleguide

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"

1. Conflicts between Spotless and Checkstyle Checkstyle is a tool for checking Java source code for compliance with code standards or a set of validation rules (best practices).

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.

PMD, and checkstyle as well.

I’m a little out of date with Java, but I believe Checkstyle is currently popular: https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle

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.

Checkstyle: a tool that helps programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard: https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle

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.

Hey, looking for a way to change the default PEP-8 code style to the one of Google. I see that I can set it manually or import the settings, but I've been unable to find a settings file (other than this one for Vim). I also haven't been able to find examples of what a PyCharm-supported settings file would be formatted like, so I can write one myself.

Google C++ Style Guide Example

I use intellij and import Googlecodestyles, modify it a bit to my liking and save that setting. I believe they have one for eclipse also. I believe this it is https://github.com/google/styleguide/blob/gh-pages/eclipse-java-google-style.xml

For latest rules of ShardingSphere, see [shardingsphereeclipseformatter.xml](https://github.com/apache/shardingsphere/blob/master/src/resources/shardingsphere_eclipse_formatter.xml). For references, check the [eclipse-java-google-style.xml](https://github.com/google/styleguide/blob/gh-pages/eclipse-java-google-style.xml) file.

Would it be possible to get IDE level formatting capabilities? I am not exactly looking for IDEL level customisability. I just need a way to figure out how to use Google Style Guides to format codes while editing.

You just need to have the desired Format rules, like https://github.com/google/styleguide/blob/gh-pages/intellij-java-google-style.xml

Since it's been around since 2003, I'm curious to know how many projects out there are using it. Would be great if there are some open source examples available as well. I mostly stick to Python, so I'm most familiar with the Google docstring format[1], but seeing as there are other ones[2] as well aren't those usable for other languages too? Seems to be the case of yet another "standard", though since this is such an old project I may out of my depth in saying that.
