Description

Maven has a checkstyle:checkstyle goal which, oddly enough, runs the checkstyle (http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/) tool that checks coding style. There are many rules available. When all rules are turned on, there are over 80,000 messages. Changing the code base, all at once, to mitigate that many messages is not feasible.

In order to get the process moving, I suggest only the 'no whitespace at end of lines' be turned on.
