As i have seen in many projects, there is one main problem with checkstyle useability.
Its great to have this tool, but its too hard to configure the rules.
The problem is, if you cannot easy configure the rules, checkstyle simply marks to many rule errors and you dont look anymore on the hints.
So checkstyle only works right if its marks the things you want really change.
So i have the following suggestion to improve that useability.
You get a magnifier on the left side of each checkstyle error, there is already the option to fix the found rule problem.
Is it possible to add an additoinal option, which deactivated the rule which caused this hint?
It should deactivate this rule for the project.
This should increase configuration useability extremly.
Give me your feedback!
Thanks in advance.
