PMD

http://pmd.sourceforge.net/

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

• Empty try/catch/finally/switch blocks
• Unused local variables, parameters and private methods
• Empty if/while statements
• Overcomplicated expressions - unnecessary if statements, for loops that could be while loops
• Classes with high Cyclomatic Complexity measurements
