A free and open source Java source code analyzer that will find potential coding problems such as possible bugs, dead codes and duplicate codes. #Source code analyzer #Verify source code #Find bug #Analyzer #Verifier #Bug
PMD is an open source and free application that was developed as a Java source code analyzer.
Moreover, PMD is a highly extensible static code analyzer with built-in support for multiple programming languages (i.e. Java, JSP, JavaScript, Salesforce.com Apex and Visualforce, PLSQL, Apache Velocity, XML and Maven POM, and XSL).
PMD will also help you rapidly find unused variables, unnecessary object creation, empty catch blocks, and so forth.
The PMD code analysis tool comes with lots of ready-to-use built-in rules which should make code analysis tasks a lot easier and faster, as well as with support for creating your own custom rules using XPath for querying the source code's AST.
PMD was created to scan Java source code and looks for potential problems like: · Possible bugs - empty try/catch/finally/switch statements · Dead code - unused local variables, parameters and private methods · Suboptimal code - wasteful String/StringBuffer usage · Overcomplicated expressions - unnecessary if statements, for loops that could be while loops · Duplicate code - copied/pasted code means copied/pasted bugs
