CheckStyle capability analysis

[mhotan]

Find out if check style is capable of designing our code standard. Possibly extract a CheckStyle format file that we could all plug in to our eclipse instances.

The possibilities for CheckStyle are endless. There are literally checks for the smallest details. It works by storing the style details in an xml file. We can also create a style and share it on the repository. To do this we'll have to first decide on what rules we want to use. Then we can use eclipse to attach the xml file as a .checkstyle file so that anybody checking out the repo will have everything set up already. More details can be found at http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net/advanced_team.html

Everything is now up and running for this. There is a Google doc under Phase 2 that explains this in more detail. Let me know if you have any questions.
