Click here for more information on link files: Plugin - Link Files:

Download com.atlassw.tools.eclipse.checkstyle_4.4.0-bin.zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-cs/
Create a folder for the plugin in your repository. On my workstation:
```
\repository\eclipse\plugins\checkstyle_4.4.0\eclipse\
```

Extract the archive. On my workstation this creates two folders:

Create a .link file in your Eclipse links folder. On my workstation:

path=/repository/eclipse/plugins/checkstyle_4.4.0

xmlbuddy looks pretty useful, quick and easy to use (saves using a separate
app such as xmlspy)

It allows you to:

format the xml/xhtml into something that is easy to read, i.e., correctly

validate the xml/xhtml, menu: [XML - Validate], shortcut: [Ctrl+Shift+V]
