Configure code style from checkstyle

[aikidojohn]

It would be incredibly useful if there were a way to configure a code style profile from the checkstyle rules. There is a checkstyle plugin for eclipse that does this and I find it incredibly useful. What I end up doing now is exporting the generated formatter profile from eclipse and import it into IntelliJ.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm afraid that while I agree it'd be a pretty spiffing feature, it's highly unlikely to be implemented by myself, however, as it'd be a substantial amount of work; the IDEA plugin API is horribly documented and painful to use; and it's not something I'd personally use. Never say never, mind 😄

Probably not particularly helpful, but I'd love to see this as well.

Should it plug into intellij itself natively or do you recommend forking checkstyle-idea and implementing it in there?

Good news - this was kindly contributed by @dyadix in #210 (release 4.24.0). Apologies for forgetting to close this issue!
