New NetBeans Plugin : PMD - Code-Checking
posted Wednesday, 8 February 2006
 |
There is a new NetBeans plugin for uncovering bad or problematic source code. The plugin is PMD. You can find it at the nbextras.org update center. PMD scans Java source code and looks for potential problems like possible bugs (like empty try/catch/finally/switch statements), dead code (like unused variables, parameters and private
|
methods), overcomplicated expressions (like unnecessary if statements, for loops that could be while loops, etc), suboptimal code (String/StringBuffer usage) and duplicate code. There is a "Current Rulesets" page where you can view the rulesets. The PMD
| sourceforge project can be found at the sourceforge project page. Sources are available here. After you install the module, an Action for running PMD will be added into the Tools section of the popup menu in the Project tab. |
