Follow these steps to integrate Drupal Code Sniffer into Eclipse.

Requirements

Installation

Install Eclipse
Install PTI Plugin
Configure PTI:
- Open Eclipse preferences -> PHP Tools -> PHP Codesniffer
- Add a new "CodeSniffer Standard" - choose this library
- Activate the library by checking the checkbox next to its name.
- Make sure the Standard Tab Width configuration is set to 0. Otherwise you won't get notified about evil tabs in the code.

Usage

Use the PHP Tools entry in the context menu (right click) in the navigator or hit "Validate" within the context menu (right click) of a file.

Recommendations

Disable the autorun of validators to save performance.
Configure the "CodeSniffer Standard" to be use per project.
