Description

While using maven + Checkstyle on a new project, the amount of errors/warnings was quite high, due both because checkstyle was not yet configured to match our preferences.. and also to real style errors.
To refine this, it very useful to tackle first the big problems=the one occuring often
Similarly, it is helpful NOT to see the rules that are not violated, so that we can concentrate on the existing problems
