I attended a conference last week, and at the conference I met David Maxwell
who is an open source strategist for Coverity.  Coverity has developed tools
that perform static code analysis on C/C++ based projects.  David mentioned
that Coverity is in the process of finalizing a tool that will process java
code and one of their focuses is on concurrent code analysis.  I mentioned
to him that I am a committer on this project and David mentioned that
Coverity currently processes some Apache programs already.  He said that
Coverity has an automated process in place which grabs open source programs
out of cvs/svn and analyzes the code and reports the results to the
developers at no cost.

I would like to take the lead on this and work with David to get MINA into
their processes so that Coverity could scan our baseline on a regular basis
and report the results back to us.  I figure that it can only make our
program better.
