[news.eclipse.tools] [ANN] Eclipse Checkstyle Plug-in v3.1.1 released

["David Schneider" <daschneider@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An updated version of the Eclipse Checkstyle plug-in, v3.1.1, is now
available. To download this the version visit the Eclipse Checkstyle
plug-in's SourceForge project web page at http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net.

Checkstyle is a Java source code analyzer similar to lint for C.  It has a
large collections of configurable rules for checking your code's style and
detecting possible bugs.  Give it a try and let me know what you think.

The changes made in this release are:

Bugs Fixed:
- 744773: Unknown property type for empty block rule.
- 745200: Failed to read and parse check configuration.
- 745340: Poor check config export failure message.
- 748772: Default file pattern is misleading.
- 748779: Exported plugin configuration is not ordered.

Feature Requests:
- 741546: You can now import standard Checkstyle configuration files.
- 744754: A file of default configurations is now provided. One
   configuration on the Sun coding standards from the Checkstyle
   distribution is included.

Other Items:
- Updated documentation to include a Getting Started and Troubleshooting
   topic.
- Improved error handling and reporting in some situations. In particular,
   when a project FileSet refers to a check configuration that is not in
   the workspace.
- Improved performance of check initialization.

Happy code checking,
Dave
