Hi, Thanks to your swift reply.
IntelliJ complains about checkstyle rules with the following exception: org.infernus.idea.checkstyle.exception.CheckStylePluginException: <html><b>The Checkstyle rules file could not be parsed.</b><br>SuppressionCommentFilter is not allowed as a child in Checker<br>The file has been blacklisted for 60s.</html> at org.infernus.idea.checkstyle.checker.CheckerFactory.blacklistAndShowMessage(CheckerFactory.java:197) at org.infernus.idea.checkstyle.checker.CheckerFactory.blacklistAndShowMessage(CheckerFactory.java:213) at org.infernus.idea.checkstyle.checker.CheckerFactory.createChecker(CheckerFactory.java:145) at org.infernus.idea.checkstyle.checker.CheckerFactory.getOrCreateCachedChecker(CheckerFactory.java:75) at org.infernus.idea.checkstyle.checker.CheckerFactory.checker(CheckerFactory.java:57) ... Thanks! Attached the screenshot, hope this would help.
