Sometimes, looking at certain things in our code makes me think, 'How did it get in, there should be some kind of check for it!'. Looked at different checkstyles rules and I think we can enable the following ones to improve the formatting quality of our codebase.
ImportOrder <http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_imports.html#ImportOrder> : keep imports in sorted order LeftCurly <http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_blocks.html#LeftCurly> : Placement of left curly brace. Does 'eol' sounds right setting? NeedBraces <http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_blocks.html#NeedBraces> : braces around code blocks JavadocTagContinuationIndentation <http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_javadoc.html#JavadocTagContinuationIndentation> : Avoid weird indentations in javadocs NonEmptyAtclauseDescription <http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_javadoc.html#NonEmptyAtclauseDescription> : We have sooooo many empty javadoc @ clauses. This'll take care of it. Indentation <http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_misc.html#Indentation> : Bad indentation hurts code readability. We have indentation guidelines, should be fine enforcing them. - Apekshit
