PMD Applied (http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/91750148/article.pl):
Simon P. Chappell writes "It's a fundamentally agreed fact within our industry that code reviews are good. Really good. Sliced bread good. But have you actually tried organizing one? If you can get everyone together that needs to be there at the same time in the same meeting room, then you still have the challenge of trying to keep a roomful of geeks from getting trapped in minutiae and squabbling over details like formatting conventions. Well, what if I told you that you could get your code reviews done in less than five minutes and that there would be no arguing? Enter PMD, an open-source Java static analyzer. Think of it as a code review in a box. As if that weren't wonderful enough, there's even a book, PMD Applied, written by Tom Copeland, the author of PMD." Read on for the rest of Simon's review.http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdot?i=h8ly0m</img> (http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdot?a=h8ly0m)
