IntelliJ checkstyle plugin reformat

Question

Here are the specific steps: Setup Steps

Go to IntelliJ -> Preferences -> Plugins -> Browse repositories.
Search for and Install the "Checkstyle-IDEA" plugin, restart IntelliJ.
Go to IntelliJ -> Preferences -> Other Settings -> Checkstyle.
Under "Configuration File" click "+" and name the description "Customized Checkstyle".
Click on "Use a checkstyle file accessible via HTTP" and "ignore invalid certificates".
For the URL use: https://drive-xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.com/view/xxxxx/checkstyle-rules.xml (corporate website) click "Next" and then click "Finish".
Click on the checkbox for "Customized Checkstyle", click "Apply" and "OK".

And I can run in real-time checkstyle to my code. However, when I reformat the code, the formatted code does not match the checkstyle, could you please let me know what I did wrong?

Code formatting is a separate thing from checkstyle. But you can convert checkstyle to a IDEA's code formatting: Settings -> File | Settings | Editor | Code Style and on the left hand side of the Scheme there is cog, click on it, then Import Scheme -> CheckStyle Configuration:

Note that you will need to download the checkstyle xml config file.

How is code formatting different then check style ?

I think streetturtle meant that that detection of style violations and fixing style violations are two different things
