Code Analyzer - Pro!

The Code Analyzer tool provides visual feedback in the editor about any code issue by highlighting corresponding symbols using styled and colored line. By default, errors, warnings and To-Do's are highlighted using red, green and gray wavy line respectively.

Code Analyzer error highlight and tooltip

Each issue discovered by code analyzer has description associated with it. The description text for every issue can be shown in the hint window that appears if mouse cursor is placed under the code issue. Code Analyzer engine utilizes issues found by JBuilder parser and issues found by its own static source code analyzer. The following issues and cases are currently supported:

All errors displayed in Java structure (ones from parser and Code Insight);
To-Do comments;
Java Doc conflicts (in JBuilder 6 and 7);
Unknown, ambiguous and inaccessible classes;
Double and duplicate imports;
Redundant imports;
Basic classes access rights violation errors;
Class declaration errors;
Methods declaration errors;
Hiding fields/variables by local variables or parameters;
Potentially infinite loops;
Non-empty case statements without break statement.

Usually, code analyzer is invoked in background with some delay after last document changing (you can customize this delay using Java Structure Properties property page). You can specify how deep the code analyzer should perform checking of the source code using (Editor Options | Productivity! | Code Analyzer property page). The deeper level of analyzing is more time consumptive, so based on your workstation configuration you may wish to reduce analysis level to achieve optimal performance.

There is ability to force run of Code Analyzer using the Code Analyser Button button on the JBuilder toolbar. In this case, all settings for code analyzer is ignored and most deep checks are performed.

Options Dependency

You can control Code Analyzer behavior using the Editor Options | Productivity! | Code Analyzer property page.
