Don't know, maybe some Checkstyle Eclipse plugin provide Quickfixes...

I fixed most of the layout problems in my IDE by simply selecting the 
code and calling the "re-format code" function.

The easiest way to handle checkstyle problems is probably not to 
introduce them in the first place. Configure your editor to strip 
trailing whitespace on save, use code templates (like "loop over an 
array") that have whitespace at the right places, etc. That should leave 
you with very few errors, and those usually cannot be fixed automatically...

I'd love to, but - believe it or not - I have never used IRC (although I 
am on Linux so I probably have all software in place), so I'd have to do 
some reading first.

Is there an IRC channel you are usually connected to (hope this is the 
right terminology for IRC), and if so at which times of the day?
