Open Source Eclipse Plugins

Argus is a highly integrated Eclipse plug-in. The purpose of this plug-in is to add additional Errors and Warnings to the Eclipse Framework, assisting Java programmers to create bug free, high quality code. Obvious problems such as syntax errors are already detected by the Java compiler, and therefore will not be checked by Argus Codewatch. Instead, the plug-in tries to detect bad coding practices (such as unconditional loops) or violations of contract (such as when overriding Object.equals()). This plug-in also provides a framework for adding new checks. This allows developers to easily add new checks as they see fit, or to provide quickfixes to existing checks.
