Apache Maven Checkstyle Plugin – Code Style analysis

Maven Check Style plugin is used to check the code style used by the developer or by an automation tester. This plugin will generate a compressive report stating all the warnings and errors against the predefined set of rules. If Required we can also configure our own rules to validate the code style.
