Since it is not on the front page and probably everybody wants to know. Here is what it claims to do. "PMD scans source code in Java and other languages and looks for potential problems like: - Possible bugs - empty try/catch/finally/switch statements - Dead code - unused local variables, parameters and private methods - Suboptimal code - wasteful String/StringBuffer usage Overcomplicated expressions - unnecessary if statements, for loops that could be while loops - Duplicate code - copied/pasted code means copied/pasted bugs" [0] http://pmd.sourceforge.net/snapshot/ http://pmd.sourceforge.net/snapshot/
