Hi,

I'm using checkstyle because it is required for my customers projects.
If it's not wanted, I'm fine with it.
I just experienced that it did make debugging very hard (e.g. Getting
NullPointerExceptions with no line-number as the only indication what
went wrong. In that case it could have been checked easily a few lines
before during initialisation of the preferences-dialogue.).

Just my 2ct,
Marcus
