A solution is available now:

  2. Go to Settings|Editor|Code Style, choose a code style you want to import CheckStyle configuration to.

  3. Click Manage...|Import.., choose "CheckStyle Configuration" and select a corresponding CheckStyle configuration file. Click OK.

At the end you will see a message "CheckStyle configuration settings were imported to ... scheme".
