Hi guys, Having IntelliJ enforce Beam's Checkstyle rules turned out to be very useful for me, so I figured I'd share the steps just in case.
1. Install the Checkstyle plugin 1. Select the *Plugins* menu from the *Preferences* (Cmd+",") 2. Click "*Browse Repositories*" 3. Type "*Checkstyle-IDEA*" in the search box and select the search result 4. Click "*install*" 5. *Restart* Intellij 2. Activate Beam's checkstyle rules 1. Select the newly added "*Checkstyle*" menu from the Preferences (Cmd+",") menu 2. Hit the "*+*" icon to add a checkstyle file, *select Beam's checkstyle.xm*l "..incubator-beam/sdks/java/build-tools/src/main/resources/beam/checkstyle.xml" 3. Check the "*Active*" checkbox to activate 3. Done! Hope you find this useful. Regards, Stas
