Open-source bug finding tool for Java.
FindBugs operates on Java bytecode and uses static analysis techniques to find a variety of potential bugs.

FindBugs is based on the concept of bug patterns. A bug pattern is a code idiom that is often an error.
Bug patterns arise for a variety of reasons:
- Difficult language features
- Misunderstood API methods
- Misunderstood invariants when code is modified during maintenance
- Garden variety mistakes: typos, use of the wrong boolean operator

FindBugs doesn't focus on style or formatting; it specifically tries to find real bugs or potential performance problems.
Comes with an Eclipse plug-in.
