anderrorprone
anderrorprone is a static analysis tool designed to identify error‑prone code patterns in software projects, specifically targeting languages that support annotations and compile‑time checks. Developed by a collaborative effort between open‑source contributors and a corporate research team, anderrorprone builds upon concepts introduced by similar tools such as Google's Error Prone and SonarQube. The project was first released in 2020, with a focus on improving code quality for large, distributed codebases.
The core of anderrorprone operates as a compiler plug‑in that scans source files during the build process.
anderrorprone supports extension through a rule API, enabling teams to add organization‑specific checks. The tool is
Users of anderrorprone often report that it reduces the incidence of runtime exceptions by an estimated 15 %
