FindBugs is an open source program which looks for bugs in Java code [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-findbug1/ FindBugs, Part 1: Improve the quality of your code] ] [ [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-findbug2/ FindBugs, Part 2: Writing custom detectors] ] . It uses static analysis [http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/login.jsp?url=/iel5/52/34708/01657940.pdf Static Code Analysis] ] to identify hundreds of different potential types of error in Java programs. FindBugs operates on Java bytecode , rather than source code. It includes both a stand alone GUI and an Eclipse plug-in. A Netbeans plug-in is also available.
