I've got a problem trying to import my check-style to IDEA 14. That's what I do:

  1. File -> Settings -> Inspections -> Import
  2. There I choose my checkstyle.xml and then I don't know why but TempProfile is created.
  3. Hmm, ok, looks like this TempProfile can check my code using my checkstyle.xml but it doesn't!

Go to the Checkstyle configuration page via File → Settings, then typing checkstyle into the search box:

IntelliJ config editor

Press the plus icon to add your checkstyle.xml. Activate your checkstyle.xml by clicking the checkbox in the column labeled Active.

That's it!
If you want real-time scans, you can go to the Inspections dialog and activate the real-time scan:

IntelliJ Inspections Dialog
