To be honest I found discussion about this tool in a thread of <a href="http://www.jugmilano.it">jug milano</a> mailing list. <b>findbugs</b> is a free software which looks for bugs in Java code. In order to execute this program is enough you have installed on your machine <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/">Java Web Start</a>. Thereby try to click <a href="http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/jnlp/findbugs.jnlp">here</a> , after set parameter of your project (src, jar, etc) and finally push on &#8216;Find Bugs&#8217; button.<br> I was amazed at how many bugs it found like comparison of String objects using == or != instead of using <i>equals()</i> method. <br> By the way&#8230;I didn&#8217;t generate that code :-)</p> Wed, 17 May 2006 12:15:00 -0500 urn:uuid:239d813d-c2fe-43db-b4ff-dcb8d3ef6309 Enrico Giurin http://www.jugpadova.it/articles/2006/05/17/findbugs-to-discover-bugs Software bug tool http://www.jugpadova.it/articles/trackback/369
