FindBugs

FindBugs is an open-source static code analyser created by Bill Pugh and David Hovemeyer which detects possible bugs in Java programs.[2][3] Potential errors are classified in four ranks: (i) scariest, (ii) scary, (iii) troubling and (iv) of concern. This is a hint to the developer about their possible impact or severity.[4] FindBugs operates on Java bytecode, rather than source code. The software is distributed as a stand-alone GUI application. There are also plug-ins available for Eclipse,[5] NetBeans,[6] IntelliJ IDEA,[7][8][9] Gradle, Hudson,[10] Maven,[11] Bamboo[12] and Jenkins.[13]
