What's the best static analysis tool for NetBeans 6.1?

Question

I'm finding a couple for Java in general but no plugins for netbeans that I can see.

Thanks

Answer 1

I've used the PMD NetBeans plugin, and here are the installation instructions (may be a little outdated, due to the speed of NetBeans development, but I got them to work).

Here's a list of tools for static analyisis. Maybe you can cross-check for others that offer NetBeans support.

EDIT: Those instruction are a little bit old, so I put a more up-to-date set here (links to my blog).

Answer 2

I found the SQE Plugin, it integrates FindBugs, CheckStyle and PMD into one convenient Plugin.

CheckStyle configuration was not complete yet, but the functionality is there in full.
