The library includes numerous examples of static member classes, some of which are found in the Java 2D geometric shape classes located in the java.awt.geom package.

Like the word “ain’t,” the educated Java developer masses seem to be almost universally in agreement that the static import should be used sparingly. The reasoning here is obvious.

After a Java static code analysis runs, PMD provides a report of the offending lines of code. PMD can identify common problems such as the hard coding of passwords and IP addresses, the use of a ...

It's always a good idea to employ a few static code analysis tools as part of your software development routine. There are a number of great tools that perform static analysis of Java code, such as ...

Version 24 version introduces several new language features which collectively simplify code, and provide powerful tools for bytecode manipulation and advanced stream processing.

I'm purely a Java guy, and we'll eventually get to a pure Java library, but in the meantime I'd like to test using something like JNA. I'm wanting to keep this under a linux environment.

You can easily initialize all of the class variables (static variables in Java) and global variables in the unit initialization and finalization sections, though.<P>I wondered how Java could have ...

For Java, the primary tool in this domain is FindBugs (findbugs.sourceforge.net). This is a free, open-source tool that is very easy to use either standalone or integrated with other tools.

Of course, there’s a range of open-source projects such as PMD, a static analysis tool that works on Java applications. It checks for bugs and addresses issues such as dead and duplicate code.
