Description

• Currently, DS CI checks formatting errors. However, it will be much more conveniently if we could find those style errors and automatically fix them before pushing the code.
• We could introduce spotless plugin into DS and use it to automatically fix the style.

Use case

• At present, DS uses checkstyle plugin. However, there are tons of legacy formatting errors in the project every time we build the project. Thus, in practice, some developers tend to use -Dcheckstyle.skip flag when building the project and this make the style check a little bit awkward.
• Huge advantage of using Spotless over CheckStyle is in addition to check the formatting of the code it also has apply goal that fixes all the style and formatting. With Spotless, we could fix the legacy formatting errors once for all and developers could fix new format errors with a single line of command mvn spotless:apply.
