Lint4j ("Lint for Java") is a static Java source and byte code analyzer that detects locking and threading issues, performance and scalability problems, and checks complex contracts such as Java serialization by performing type, data flow, and lock graph analysis. It has plugins for Ant, Maven, Eclipse as well as Unix and Windows command line utilities.

Lint4j reports suspicious coding patterns and obvious problems, which helps developers speed up code reviews and find issues very early in the software development lifecycle.

Author: Chr. Clemens Lee

Latest version: 28.49
Added 2008-01-26

Source measurement suite for Java.
JavaNCSS is a command line utility that measures two standard source code metrics for the Java programming language. The metrics are collected globally, for each class and/or for each function.
JavaNCSS can optionally present its output with a little graphical user interface. To interactively select Java source files for counting, Jacob (a Java class browser and project manager) can be used for this purpose. JavaNCSS can also be used out of an Ant build.xml script as it comes bundled with an Ant task.

Features include:
- Metrics can be applied to global-, class-, or function-level
- Non Commenting Source Statements (NCSS)
- Cyclomatic Complexity Number (McCabe metric)
- Packages, classes, functions and inner classes are counted
- Number of formal Javadoc comments per class and method
- Average values are calculated
- Command line driven
- A GUI is provided for better output browsing as well as the integration of JavaNCSS in a project manager and class browser named Jacob for easy selection of input source files
- XML output (optional)
- XSLT stylesheets provided for further generation of HTML, and SVG reports and as a basis for your own custom reports
- Ant task
- Support for Java 1.5 syntax (generics, enums, etc.)

QJ-Pro

Home Page

Categories: Code analysis - Standards verifiers

Latest version: 2.1
Added 2005-03-12

Toolset for static analysis of Java source code: a combination of automatic code review and automatic coding standards enforcement.
QJ-Pro's main functionality is to ensure that no errors enter the source code when it is written or modified, resulting in more reliable, maintainable, testable and portable Java programs.

The tool is based on quality attributes such as reliability, maintainability, testability and portability, that are usually defined in a so-called coding standard. QJ-Pro comes with a set of good programming practices that can be enforced automatically.
QJ-Pro analyzes your Java source code and outputs information about the quality. The amount and type of output depends on the settings of the tool and the quality of the source code. The tool is most effectively used in the coding phase of a project to prevent an expensive maintenance and testing effort later on in the development process.

QJ-Pro comes as a standalone application for Windows and Linux, and as plug-ins for Eclipse, JBuilder and JDeveloper.

JRequire

Categories: Code analysis - Standards verifiers, Testing

Author: Technobuff

Latest version: 1.1
Added 2005-09-20Updated 2006-01-18

Requirement coverage tool that facilitates focusing on requirements as you develop code.

JRequire works on top of the JUnit unit testing framework to identify the requirement coverage in the code. This also makes JRequire useful for projects that use tools that operate on top of JUnit, such as Cactus, StrutsTestcase, etc.
From a developer's perspective, JRequire facilitates getting a view of: requirements successfully covered by code; broken requirements; requirements that are not covered.
As a project manager you get a visibility on whether you are meeting the project requirements, and the potential risk areas. In addition, as the code enhances and unit tests fail, you can identify the requirements that are at risk.

JRequire is integrated with the Eclipse IDE and Ant.
JRequire is available as Community Edition (free for non-commercial use only) and Commercial Edition.

Jlint

Home Page

Categories: Code analysis - Standards verifiers

Latest version: 3.0
Added 2005-02-06

Checks Java code and find bugs, inconsistencies and synchronization problems by doing data flow analysis and building lock graph.

Jlint consists of two separate programs performing syntax and semantic verification.
- AntiC fixes problems with C, C++, Objective C and Java grammars, which can cause dangerous programmer's bugs, undetected by compiler. It uses hand-written scanner and simple top-down parser, to detect such bugs as suspicious use of operators priorities, absence of break in switch code, wrong assumption about constructions bodies...
- The Semantic verifier Jlint extracts information from Java class files. By using debugging information Jlint can associate reported messages with Java sources. Jlint performs local and global data flow analyses, calculating possible values of local variables and catching redundant and suspicious calculations. Jlint is able to detect invocation of method with possible "null" value of formal parameter and using of this parameter in method without check for "null". Jlint also builds lock dependency graph for classes dependencies and uses this graph to detect situations, which can cause deadlock during multithreaded program execution. Jlint is also able to detect possible race condition problem, when different threads can concurrently access the same variables.

All messages reported by Jlint are grouped in categories, and it is possible to enable or disable reporting messages of specific category as well as concrete messages.

Lattix LDM for Java

Home Page

Categories: Code analysis - Standards verifiers

Author: Lattix

Latest version: 5.6.1
Added 2006-10-02Updated 2010-05-06

Enables you to analyze the architecture of your Java application in terms of the elements and their relationships (jars, packages, classes, methods, etc.).

Lattix LDM allows you to analyze your architecture, edit the structure to create what-if and should-be architectures, and then create design rules to formalize and communicate that architecture to your development organization. Lattix LDM uses a dependency-matrix approach to obtain information about an application. It displays the matrix and lets users conceptually reorganize the layers and packaging structure. Continual monitoring of an application for structural deterioration is also enabled; thereby allowing remedial action to be taken before the problem escalates to a major maintenance problem.
Lattix LDM offers a GUI as well as a command line options to facilitate integration with build tools or IDEs. Plugins for NetBeans and Eclipse are available. It also includes support for Hibernate and Spring Framework.

Author: Universal Software

Latest version: 6.0
Added 2004-12-21

Generic reverse engineering software for analysis and automatic documentation of source codes (program/header/form files).
Universal Report's goal is to analyse and generate a structured and formatted overview of a given set of program codes. A session can be achieved either in a step-by-step way or in a completely automatic way.
Universal Report is not focused on a specific programming language (will run with codes in Basic, C, C++, Fortran, Java, Matlab, Pascal, Visual Basic, Borland C++ Builder, Delphi, Kylix, Visual C++, Visual Basic .Net, Visual C#, Visual J++, etc....), and you can get reports in several common formats (text, latex, html) and languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian). The universality is due to heuristics that use programming languages intersection as well as possible, and examine further specific points. The tool is parameterizable both in the behavior point of view and the quality of the outputs. Moreover, some additional features are available, including spell checking, general pattern research, automatic information extraction, automatic code formating, glossary generator, graphics generator, routines reviewing system, protection with password, and more.
