I have an xml configuration file for maven checkstyle plugin. I have installed Intellij Idea plugin and see all checkstyle violation. Is there a way to fix most of them automatically? For example auto formatting setting? Is there a way to setup Intellij Idea to autoformat from checktyle config file?

There is an option now.

checkstyle-IDEA since 4.24.0 features import of checkstyle config.

Please install CheckStyle-IDEA plugin (http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/1065?pr=idea), it can be found via plug-in repository (Settings|Plugins|Browse repositories). Go to Settings|Editor|Code Style, choose a code style you want to import CheckStyle configuration to. Click on the gear, then 'import scheme', choose "CheckStyle Configuration" and select a corresponding CheckStyle configuration file. Click OK. At the end you will see a message "CheckStyle configuration settings were imported to ... scheme".

If you encounter any problems, you can create a new issue for the CheckStyle plug-in here: https://github.com/jshiell/checkstyle-idea/issues. This issue is actually a duplicate of https://github.com/jshiell/checkstyle-idea/issues/126.

CheckStyle plug-in version where the feature is available is 4.24.0
