Static Analysis with PMD (O'Reilly)

[Posted February 19, 2003 by cook]

Tom Copeland looks at PMD on O'Reilly. "PMD is a utility for finding problems in Java code. PMD does this using static analysis; that is, analyzing the source code without actually running the program. PMD comes with a number of ready-to-run rules that you can run on your own source code to find unused variables, unnecessary object creation, empty catch blocks, and so forth."
