FindBugs

FindBugs ScreenshotOn the last Java Posse podcast, Josh Bloch mentioned FindBugs by the University of Maryland. FindBugs looks at Java source code to find bug patterns, a code that may cause an error. It is a rather nice program which includes command line tools, a standalone GUI, and an Eclipse plugin. I may have to try writing a NetBeans plugin for it.

Speaking of Java Posse, they have been asking for people to spead the word. If your looking for a podcast with Java news and interviews check them out, because they seem to be the only active one.
