             Summary: Use Checkstyle configuration file to allow configuring Maven and Intellij Checkstyle plugins
                 Key: NIFI-10540
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10540
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Daniel Stieglitz


I noticed in the [Contributor Guide|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/Contributor+Guide#ContributorGuide-IntelliJIDEAUsers] 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|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/custom-checker-config.html] and use the same file for configuring the Intellij Checkstyle plugin
