+Checkstyle is a development tool to help programmers write Java code
+that adheres to a coding standard. It automates the process of
+checking Java code to spare humans of this boring (but important)
+task. This makes it ideal for projects that want to enforce a coding
+standard.
+
+Checkstyle can be used as either a commandline utility or as an
+Ant task.
