I downloaded version 3.5 to IDEA 10.5.4 on Windows XP

I have a setting of a property available for my CheckStyle 5.4 file (a path to a suppress file), but when accessing the "Edit Properties" under the "Configuration File" tab in the CheckStyle setting, I am not able to save a value for that property.
Edit Properties -> Property Name = checkstyleConfigDir -> Value = "C:\checkstyle" -> OK
when I again access the Edit Properties dialouge, the Value field is just empty

please let me know if you need some more information

BTW, I think you need to update the README file
I read in the README-file:
"The 'Errors' item in the preferences panel will allow you to turn this on and to configure it."
I do not know where the "Errors item in the preferences panel" is, but I discovered (after a lot of trying and failing) that the real-time scan had to be turned on through Inspections->CheckStyle->Real-time scan
