Towards Maintainability

19 Jun 2009

My friend Bevan has linked to the tools he referenced in his “Towards Maintainability” talk at the Wellington .NET users group recently.

I thought I’d add the equivalents from the perspective of an Eclipse-using Java developer...

• Definr.com
  • Definr.com isn’t specific to a single programming language.
  • I simply type things into Google Chrome’s Omnibar.
• FxCop & Gendarme
  • FindBugs
  • PMD
• Visual Studio Class Diagrams
  • Perhaps AgileJ though I do not use it.
• Snippets
  • Snippets in Eclipse
  • Creating extensions to snippets
• StyleCop
  • Checkstyle
• NAnt
  • Ant
  • Maven 2
• NUnit
  • junit
• TestDriven.Net
  • junit is integrated into all IDEs
• Sandcastle
  • Perhaps Doxia?
• TeamCity
  • TeamCity supports java
  • CruiseControl
  • Continuum
  • Hudson
  • Gump
• ReSharper
  • Mylyn is probably the closest productivity adding, IDE-changing example.
