Checkstyle is a development tool to help
programmers write Java code that adheres to a
coding standard. Its purpose is to automate the
process of checking Java code, and to spare
humans of this task.

OuterTypeFilename was added, which checks that the outer type name and the file name match. PackageDeclaration was enhanced to optionally check that the package name matches the name of the directory containing the file. NestedForDepth was added, which restricts nested for blocks to a specified depth (default = 1). MethodCount was added, which checks the number of methods declared in each type. OneStatementPerLine was added, which checks that there is only one statement per line. MagicNumber was enhanced to support the parameter ignoreHashCodeMethod to ignore magic numbers in hashCode() methods. AbstractClassName was enhanced to support checking that matching classes have the abstract modifier. The property types stringSet and intSet were enhanced to support being supplied multiple times to construct the equivalent of a comma separated list. AvoidStarImport was enhanced to support the properties allowClassImports and allowStaticMemberImports for finer control over what is allowed.
This release contains a number of enhancements and
bugfixes. The highlights include performance
improvements in the StrictDuplicateCode check and
a new CrossLanguageRegexpHeader check that allows
checking file headers for languages other than
Java.
