Description

In the Contributor Guide it is suggested to use a Checkstyle configuration file extracted from the top level pom when using the Intellij Checkstyle plugin.  In order to avoid possible inconsistencies between what is in that configuration file and what is in the top level pom.xml, place a Checkstyle configuration file as part of the NIFI code base and reference it in the plugin configuration as detailed in Using a Custom Checkstyle Checker Configuration and use the same file for configuring the Intellij Checkstyle plugin
