Static analysis tool to find bugs in Java code.
SpotBugs is a static analysis tool for Java code, designed to identify hundreds of potential bugs. As a fork of the abandoned FindBugs project, it continues to provide community-supported bug detection capabilities. It analyzes compiled Java bytecode to identify common bug patterns, such as null pointer dereferences, resource leaks, and dangerous method calls. SpotBugs operates as a standalone application or can be integrated into build systems like Ant, Maven, and Gradle, as well as IDEs like Eclipse. It is extensible through plugins, allowing developers to add custom detectors and rules. SpotBugs requires JRE 11 or later to run but can analyze programs compiled for any Java version. The tool is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
