That sounds like a great tool. But your whole team might not use that editor or have it enabled or pay attention or whatever. If you run linters in continuous integration your style guide is applied on every commit.
The inspection configuration is in the project file, so everyone has the same one, and we use IntelliJ as standard - everyone uses it.
Downvotes? Really? Any counter opinions on this?
We enforce the usage of IDEA. In addition IDEA gives fine-grained control over the analysis configuration. Every file has to be green (no warning) before commit. TeamCity can then afterwards check those inspections again in the CI process.
