Sorry if I posted this to the wrong project. Not sure where to post this, could be any of the following:

• maven-eclipse-plugin (here)
• maven-checkstyle-plugin
• checkstyle plugin for Eclipse

It would be neat to have the eclipse plugin generate a Code Formatter xml file, that can be imported in Eclipse, from the checkstyle.xml configuration file. I think a simple xslt file will do the trick. If I have time I'll attach it and a patch for a new goal.
