Recently Bolek applied checkstyle rules to whole GateIn portal project with all project modules. So it's definitely possible. I don't know the details and I think that he will have more input on this but what we have in GateIn is: 1) Separate module called "build-config" here https://github.com/gatein/gatein-portal/tree/master/build-config It contains only pom.xml file with configuration and checkstyle file https://github.com/gatein/gatein-portal/blob/master/build-config/src/main... 2) In main parent pom.xml is the configuration of checkstyle plugin in "plugin-management" section and plugin is enabled in "plugins" section. See https://github.com/gatein/gatein-portal/blob/master/pom.xml 3) Directory with all ide configs is available in separate directory of GateIn project here https://github.com/gatein/gatein-portal/tree/master/ide-configs . 4) Bolek somehow enforced reformatting of whole project to align all Java and XML files with new rules. Not sure how he exactly did it... But seems to be good idea to do it in Picketlink as well. From my quick browsing I am seeing quite big incompatibilities especially between XML files. (For example 4 spaces indentation here https://github.com/picketlink/picketlink/blob/master/idm/impl/src/test/re... vs. tabs usage here https://github.com/picketlink/picketlink/blob/master/idm/impl/pom.xml . Personally I think that using of tabs is hell. Spaces are much better because file looks same in various editors) Marek > I know some of you have philosophical indifference to checkstyle.
