converting an eclipse formatter file to a checkstyle file

Question

I have an eclipse formatting file (which contains some configurations) and i want to make the same thing (these configurations) for a checkstyle file to use after with maven build.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there is no way to convert a formatter file to a checkstyle ruleset at the moment. You have to do it the other way around as explained here.

Otherwise you have to adjust every setting in your formatter manually for checkstyle.

Answer 2

The Eclipse-Checkstyle plugin provides an export feature to export your preferences.
