I’ve previously written on the benefits of static analysis of java code with the use of PMD and FindBugs. I was recently turned on to a new tool that performs similar testing of code within the Eclipse IDE.
When I first found this tool it was free, since that time it’s come out of beta and is now a little costly, but it may still be worth it due to the functionality it provides.
The premise of this tool is a little different than other ones, while it covers much of the same need, it also performs many tests that I would previously use CheckStyle to do. This only provides them at runtime and in a common manner within the IDE.
