My opinion of checkstyle is a bit mixed. Essentially I feel that there is a
pitfall which is that it makes it hard for people to contribute good code if
their tool has very minor discrepancies with the code style. That said, I think
a minimum set is very nice to have in place...
One of the things I notice here though is the import statement ordering. I
believe that 99% of our codebase today is sorted using eclipse's standard
settings. If we require some other ordering then my next question is: How do we
explain to contributors (myself included) how to set up their IDE. This should
essentially be documented, probably in the CONTRIBUTE.md file.
