Go to "Settings" → "Verification Style". In the Global Check Configurations window, you can specify your own files.

In eclipse, the built-in checkstyle will not be available, so you need to install the plugin first.

If by user-defined checkstyle you mean that you have created several new rules and want them to be part of your style, you can do this as follows:

Create a plugin project and add custom checks .
Make the appropriate changes to plugin.xml , checkstyle_packages.xml.
Export the project as Deployable plugins and fragments (export> Plugin development)
Copy the flag file into the Eclipse Plugin folde, so you do not need to set your own validation.
