One of the Java Code Style preferences is the Fomatter. Basically this Formatter handles all the Jalopy tasks of formating/beautifying code. You can setup new profiles and import/export these profiles.
Thus, realistically for a specific project you might have these xml confgiuration files for the programming team; sun_checks.xml, project_checkstyle_checks_overriding_sun_checks.xml, project_formatter_profile.xml, and the java.header file. Right now, there is not a direct integration between the profile.xml settings and the checkstyle rules.
However, you should be able to after reading the Checkstyle configuration readme be able to write a new checkstyle check file that integrates with the Formatter profile settings you have choosen in the Java Code Style Formatter.
Seems somewhat better than worrying about the Jalopy and Checkstyle clashes.
