  • Checkstyle

    Checkstyle is a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. By default it supports the Google Java Style Guide and Sun Code Conventions, but is highly configurable. It can be invoked with an ANT task and a command line program.

  • 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.

  • WorkOS
