Checkstyle

- Start from Google or Sun checks configuration — customize from a known baseline. Integrate into CI with Maven/Gradle plugin and fail builds on violations. Use `SuppressionFilter` for intentional exceptions, not to silence everything.
- Configure `TreeWalker` checks for code style: `NeedBraces`, `WhitespaceAround`, `MethodLength`, `ParameterNumber`. Use `Checker` level checks for file-level rules: `FileLength`, `FileTabCharacter`, `NewlineAtEndOfFile`. Pin Checkstyle version in build config for reproducible builds. Use IDE plugins (IntelliJ, Eclipse) for real-time feedback.
