Hello,
Findbugs (http://findbugs.sf.net; see also http://fb-contrib.sf.net) is a very popular and powerful static analysis tool that helps to identify bugs in Java code.
One of my colleagues reported that the parser code generated by ANTLR triggers many findbugs warnings. Do you have any plans to address those warnings? Of course, automatically generated code is not meant for human inspection but OTOH: the less warnings, the better :-)
It would also be a very nice exercise to apply findbugs to ANTLR and ist runtime library itself. You will be surprised by its output, no doubt!
Regards,
Michael
