PMD scans Java source code and looks for potential problems like:

  • Unused local variables

  • Empty catch blocks

  • Unused parameters

  • Empty 'if' statements

  • Duplicate import statements

  • Unused private methods

  • Classes which could be Singletons

  • Short/long variable and method names

PMD has plugins for JEdit, JBuilder, Netbeans/Forte/Sun ONE, IntelliJ IDEA, Maven, Ant, Eclipse,

Gel, and Emacs. You can download everything from here.

Thanks to Tom Copeland for this!
