The abundance of materials on static analysis that have recently come to my attention inspired me to write this article. Firstly, there's the PVS-studio blog, which actively promotes itself on Habr through reviews of errors found by its tool in open-source projects. Recently, PVS-studio implemented support for Java, and of course, the developers of IntelliJ IDEA, whose built-in analyzer is currently, perhaps, […]
IntelliJ IDEA currently features the most advanced static Java code analyzer, far surpassing such "veterans" as Checkstyle and Spotbugs.
