Improve the quality of your code using Find Bugs [configuration and reports in Eclipse]

What is FindBugs?

FindBugs is a static analysis tool that examines your class or JAR files looking for potential problems by matching your bytecodes against a list of bug patterns. With static analysis tools, you can analyze software without actually running the program. Instead the form or structure of the class files are analyzed to determine the program's intent, often using the Visitor pattern.
