This makes it ideal for projects that want to enforce a coding standard; FindBugs: An open-source static code analyser. It detects possible bugs in Java programs. Potential errors are classified in four ranks: scariest, scary, troubling and of concern. This is a hint to the developer about their possible impact or severity.
