Hi

I have searched and got the information. I have also downloaded the plugins and added it to my ecllipse plugins folder. But Im not able to configure the checkstyle. I have downloaded the plugins for checkstyle and I have copied it to my ecllipse plugins folder. Have also restarted my ecllipse. But when I go to windows---> preferences, checkstyle is not getting listed there.

Please Assist, Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Varshini

First, PMD and Checkstyle are two different things.

It's easiest to install them using the update manager; it'll be much harder to debug what could have gone wrong with a manual installation.

Hi,

installation and configuration of Checkstyle (and Findbugs) is described here: http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseCodeAnalysis/article.html

This does not describe PMD.

Best regards, Lars

The article I posted contains a link to an explaination of the usage of the update manager. Direct link: http://www.vogella.de/articles/Eclipse/article.html#plugin_installation

In the update manager just press "New Site" and then follow the instruction.
